Designed to help first year college students have an easier and more successful year, the GapWell Guide sources practical advice, tips, personal stories and more from older students across the country and delivers it directly to students’ phones every week.

Every week (during the school year) a new episode of the GapWell Guide is released. Subscribers get a text message alerting them to the new issue. They can click through to view the content, typically 4-6 new videos or articles filled with great advice. Every subscriber also gets unlimited access to the Guide archives.

The GapWell Guide is a welcome relief from social - our entire purpose is to make students feel more capable, more supported, and more optimistic. Our student contributors are not trying to be "influencers" who pretend that they are perfect and make you feel less-than if you are not. Rather they are honest and vulnerable, caring and helpful, and entirely dedicated to making your first year on campus better.

The GapWell Guide covers an incredible array of topics, all designed to help first-years have less stress and more success. From academics, to social topics, to personal growth, every video is created by an older student and is focused on delivering the advice and wisdom they "wish they knew" their first year.

The GapWell Guide student contributors, or "Guides," are a diverse group of seniors, juniors, sophomores, and recent college graduates from schools across the country. They represent many different parts of the college community, and they attend a range of institutions: Ivy League schools, large state universities, mid-size schools, and smaller liberal arts colleges. Each student contributor is personally evaluated and selected by GapWell's founders, and every piece of content they create goes through a formal review process prior to being approved for publication.

If you are on a month-to-month subscription, you can cancel any time. If you've paid the discounted rate for the entire academic year or full second semester, you can cancel in the first 30 days for a full refund.
