What students are saying

As a current student on this bumpy collegiate pathway, I stumbled upon Course Hero, where I
can find study resources for nearly all my courses, get online help from tutors 24/7, and even
share my old projects, papers, and lecture notes with other students.

I cannot even describe how much Course Hero helped me this summer. Its truly become
something I can always rely on and help me. In the end, I was not only able to survive summer
classes, but I was able to thrive thanks to Course Hero.

The ability to access any universitys resources through Course Hero proved invaluable in my
case. I was behind on Tulane coursework and actually used UCLAs materials to help me move
forward and get everything together on time.
