Study Hall Notes features a wide variety of information to help students, alumni, and teachers with various aspects of college life. When you visit Study Hall Notes, you will be able to find topics on useful software, teacher advice, jobs and internships for students, school-related issues, professor ratings, and recent issues that affect college life. For example, you can find articles that aim at helping graduating high school and college seniors.

Study Hall Notes’ A+ features

What makes Study Hall Notes good is that the site seeks to reach out to a wide and diverse audience, while still staying within a relatively focused scope. Many of the “student help” sites out there are aimed at students. Study Hall Notes, however, seeks to provide a platform wherein students can communicate with teachers and alumni. What’s great about this perspective is that students can get advice and information from experienced individuals, while alumni and teachers can stay informed about pressing issues, concerns, and questions of the youth.

Study Hall Notes’ mediocrity

Although Study Hall Notes has the good concept of creating a community among teachers, students, and alumni, it does a mediocre job of promoting that community. In fact, when I first visited the site, I wasn’t very impressed. From the look of the site alone, you can tell that it was all created with a template. While automated and turnkey web design is very helpful, it doesn’t do much to make the site unique and distinct. I think Student Hall Notes needs a complete makeover, from head to toe. The site looks tacky, is hard to navigate, and is simply disorganized. On top of that, there isn’t much content, and there are no extra features that will entice visitors to return to the site.
