College students for
your next study
Find students for interviews, usability tests, focus groups, and surveys. We handle recruitment, screening, and scheduling so your team can run the research.
We check availability first, then send a quote with recruitment fees and student payments listed separately.
Find students for the study you need to run
Student usability testing
Recruit students who fit your product audience to test a website, app, or prototype. Share the device requirements, session length, and any experience they need. Your team supplies the test and runs the sessions.
One-to-one research interviews
Speak with college students about their routines, decisions, and experiences. We screen against your brief and coordinate individual sessions, including time zones and recording consent.
College student focus groups
Bring a small group together for a moderated discussion. Tell us the group size, shared availability, and the mix of students you need. Your team provides the moderator and discussion guide.
Student surveys
Invite eligible panelists to your survey using a study-specific screener. We confirm audience availability and quotas first. This opt-in panel is not a nationally representative sample of all college students.
Recruitment that fits your team
Need us to manage the recruit? We can handle screening, scheduling, reminders, and incentive coordination. Already have a recruiting team? We can source students and hand over at the point you choose.
Screened against your criteria
For interviews and usability tests, we phone-screen shortlisted students using your approved questions before booking. You receive the screening outcomes and any details still needing confirmation.
Invitations sent to matched students
We invite panel members whose profiles match your audience, then check study eligibility with your screener. Study links are shared directly with those students.
Useful project records
Follow each participant from screening through scheduling and completion. We agree on reporting, handoffs, and payment responsibilities before recruiting begins.
Limits on repeat participation
Our panel policy allows up to two studies per month, with 90 days between studies in the same category. We check participation recorded through Campus Takes before booking.
From study brief to completed sessions
Tell us who you need
Share the audience, quotas, screener, format, dates, and recording needs. We check the panel and tell you what appears feasible before you commit.
We find and screen students
We invite potential matches and check interested students against your screener. You receive their eligibility details before sessions are confirmed.
Your sessions get booked
We schedule qualified participants, confirm the time and time zone, send reminders, track attendance, and coordinate payment after you confirm completion.
Recruiting questions
What does student participant recruitment cost?
We quote each study after checking the audience, participant count, session length, screening needs, and timeline. Your written quote includes the recruiting scope and participant incentives before work starts. Send your study brief for a quote.
How quickly can you recruit participants?
We build a recruiting schedule around your audience, quotas and session dates. Share your brief and we will confirm the delivery timeline before work begins.
How do you verify students?
Applicants confirm control of their school email and phone with one-time codes. Automated checks assess eligibility and consistency, with human review for exceptions. Current enrollment is self-reported unless independently checked. Tell us if your study requires independent enrollment evidence so we can include it in screening.
Can I target a particular school, major, or product user?
Yes. We specialize in recruiting students attending Penn State and offer targeted recruitment across U.S. campuses. Include your target schools, majors, product experience and quotas in the brief. We assess availability for your audience and use your approved screener to confirm study-specific fit before booking.
Does Campus Takes moderate or analyze the research?
Your team designs, moderates, and analyzes the study. Campus Takes handles participant recruitment, screening, scheduling, reminders, attendance tracking, and incentive coordination.
Can students join the panel here?
Yes. Apply on our student page. Each invitation explains the time commitment and incentive, and participation is optional.
