Homebase is revolutionizing the way we prepare our students and scholars. We are meeting them where they need us to be rather than asking them to figure out our different systems. We’ve seen a large reduction in the number of questions we receive.

Our students love how easy and engaging this is and that they can come back and finish it whenever they want. Overall, we’ve had a very positive experience. Homebase is shockingly intuitive for both students and staff.

The out-of-the box content from Homebase made this a no-brainer. We were able to customize and launch our site in less time than we traditionally spend preparing for orientation each year. Our second year required almost no work to provide an incredible pre-arrival and orientation experience.
