What Brands Are Saying

Real feedback from brands that have activated at Student Quarters locations

We partnered with a major beverage brand for a sampling event last semester and were genuinely impressed with how the platform made the entire process seamless. Our residents got to discover new products they actually wanted to buy, and the brand loved the authentic college demographic engagement. It's become a reliable revenue stream for us while keeping our community spaces active and vibrant.

Recess connected us with a fitness supplement company that aligned perfectly with our resident demographic, and the turnout exceeded everyone's expectations—we had lines out the door. Beyond the immediate revenue, it validated that brands genuinely value access to our community, and we've had multiple inquiries since. Definitely one of the smartest ways we've monetized our space without feeling forced or intrusive.

The activation we hosted brought unexpected energy to our common areas during a typically slow weekday afternoon. Students were excited to participate, we got a nice payment, and honestly, it sparked more conversations and community building than we'd seen in months. The brand rep was professional and respectful of our space, which made us totally open to doing it again.
