Marketplace Feature

The Marketplace is an exciting new feature, and the central hub for the financial purchasing decisions students will make within the platform.

Ethical consumption

Throughout the platform, students will be presented with environmentally and socially conscious options for goods and services.

A budget meal plan saves them money, but may lack nutritional value, whereas the healthiest meal plan provides the best nutritional value, but costs the most. Students will need to weigh up short term outcomes with the impact on long-term well-being and make the decision that best suits their lifestyle.

Some power and internet providers may offer cheaper plans, at the cost of speed or data, while some of the higher end options may offer higher speeds or invest a portion of their profits into ethical ventures.

Students will need to weigh up costs against their personal beliefs and make choices based on what is more important to them.

Cost vs comfort

Students are given the opportunity to make choices about purchases they may encounter in day-to-day life, such as choosing a phone, selecting a bed, or even deciding on various furnishings for their rental property.

Each decision becomes a valuable lesson in financial management, as students are encouraged to consider multiple factors - the quality of the item, its cost, and the potential benefits it offers.

Students are also given the chance to part ways with items that no longer serve their needs or fit their lifestyle by selling their used items on the marketplace, teaching them about devaluation and the practice of decluttering.?
