TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - College students need items, and they need them cheap.
Last year, College of Business senior Dane Theisen created an online marketplace for University of Toledo students to buy, sell, and trade anything. It's called MyCollegeStuff.net.

"We're just bringing all aspects of college culture into one convenient website for the students," Theisen said.

The site functions like Craigslist, allowing students to post what they're selling and what they need.
 Things like an office desk, or a night stand, microwave or Tupperware.

This year, My College Stuff rolled out something new: The Hub.
"The cool thing about The Hub is that it offers a safe meeting location for students," VP Josh Marvin said. "You get on other websites and you have to meet with someone random at some random location, and that's not safe. So, it's really what we're trying to offer is the safe atmosphere."

The staff worked out a deal to house The Hub in one apartment complex clubhouse.
Now they have a brick-and-mortar location to not only do business, but also to let students meet safely.

"What campus around the nation wouldn't want a safe place for their students to go and be able to sell things?" asks Bailey Giacci, the CNO of MyCollegeStuff.net.
The University of Toledo is the test market as Theisen and his team have every intention of taking the concept nationwide.
