About Us

Our Story

After a long, hard, and mostly online freshman year, we realized that there was a lack of connection between students in Education City. Finding quality resources that were free was a time-consuming challenge and it felt virtually impossible to make friends and get to know different people within Education City. We all agree that the jump from high school to university was a large and unexpected one but having an online first semester made it even harder and so we wanted to make this transition just a little easier for future incoming freshmen students and for students who are thinking about cross registering in other universities. Thus, BridgeUs was born!

With this website, we hope to connect students all around Education City by providing a networking service whereby students can collaborate with each other whether that’s academically or socially. Our blogs and forums will serve as a platform for this connection, so students can engage with each other in conversation about various topics

In addition to being a ‘bridge’ for students, we will also be providing resources that students who formerly took courses found helpful in the hopes of making the lives of students easier. We hope to provide an opportunity for students who wish to cross register to learn more about what courses they can take and what the courses will be like.
