Do you pick up a newspaper every morning when you eat breakfast? Of course not. In fact, most college students barely have time to slam a bagel or down a cup of juice on their way to their first class. The website Rocloop.com aims to change all that, bringing pertinent news, stories, and other information to area college students.
We receive our news much different than our parents do. They read the paper, we read the blogs; they watch the six o’clock news, we check Youtube; they listen to talk radio, we listen to podcasts. Rocloop.com is a website sponsored by the Democrat and Chronicle, created by college interns geared towards bringing the Rochester community to the local students.
A visit to Rocloop.com will show the story of the day, with an array of other information on the sidebars. Navigation on top menus will direct you to different areas of the site, feature sections stuffed full of information. The guides section is a course in “Rochester 101,” where you can find the best places to get coffee, watch sporting events, see a concert or art showing. Unique to Rocloop.com, the 360° panoramic views of various coffee shops will give you the scoop on a good cup of java for a study break. If you want to know bar specials, or band appearances, you can find it on the calendar that hugs the right side of the home page.
While the site is a wealth of knowledge, there are also many fun features only available on Rocloop.com. The “60-Second Rant” and “Someone to Know” segments offer a closer look at people and issues that interest college students. From RIT ice climbers, to gripes about Bluetooth Headsets and Naz Parking, the features of Rocloop.com are sure to keep you reading.
Registration at Rocloop.com is a great way to stay connected, and also a great way to win prizes. When you register you are automatically entered into a drawing for a weekly $20 gift card, and become eligible for other upcoming promotions. Rocloop.com is a place for college students to interact because, as Rocloop.com’s motto states, it is “Your College, Your life, Our Rochester.”
