Study Groups are HERE! The best way to get instant help on your homework from friends and classmates. You heard it here first—so drop everything and update, y’all!

It’s like a group chat, but better: see who’s online, share class notes, and get your homework done *together* without even switching apps. And if you don’t know many people in class, now you have a chill place to ask for help!

Highlights:
- Create Study Groups for your toughest classes (or like, all of them)
- Invite classmates via Messenger, Kik, or wherever they are
- Ask questions, share notes, and get help from each other when you need it

Now get after it and make those Study Groups, people. You’re welcome.
