Yes, you read correctly! CollegeTimes has teamed up with HP to offer an amazing giveaway contest for a sort of "back to school" theme. The winner will not only take home a brand new HP DV6 16-inch widescreen laptop with 4GB RAM and a Blu-ray drive, but also a portable HP Mini laptop for taking notes in class or picking up WiFi hotspots around town! (Along with a free Timbuk2 laptop carry case thrown in!)

Those of you who have been with CollegeTimes since the beginning have a small advantage in this contest, as you can gain extra "points" for having had past articles approved for publication. But of course, our main goal is to see users being active between the dates of August 22-26, 2009, as requested by HP as part of this giveaway. Check the link above for more details, and jump into action today! Your chances are huge. =)
In other news, CollegeTimes has been hard at work the past few months re-designing our website into a professional, world-class community with the help and support of various sponsoring companies and designers (we finally re-launched our forum!). We hope you like our new design, and the renewed energy and reputation that is beginning to come with it. We are now partnered with various big-time college websites including College News, Unigo, CollegeClickTV, and more! We are listed on Technorati as a quickly growing college blog and hope to become listed in Google News later this year.
We are so glad to see most of you sticking around through our messy reconstruction, and are humbled and amazed by the knowledge and energy that each of you bring to our community. A great big thank you, and congratulations, to you all.
That's it! Remember to check out our contest rules below, and take a spin around our almost-completely-finished new site design! Thanks guys and gals, and good luck!
