Got a burning question, a helpful comment, topics or other things you’d like to us to cover? Think you know the perfect way for CC to take over the WWW? Are you heading to school in NYC and interested in interning for the coolest office ever? (Besides the world’s slowest elevator, our office is the chillest place you’ll ever intern)

Send us a note at jess@collegecandy(dot)com or Lauren@collegecandy(dot)com. CC is also occasionally online — CollegeCandy27 — so add us to your buddy list (we love to procrastinate as much as the next girl)! Our goal is to be everything you could ever need in a website, so we really want to know what’s on your mind!
