Zaarly is a new company that has just launched at Boston University. It is similar to Craigslist in that students can request services or purchase and sell products. You just register using your BU email and then you can post what you want, how much you’ll pay for it and when you need it by. Anyone registered on Zaarly on campus can snag the job and make quick money. Hopefully Zaarly will grow to become a large part of our campus to give us an easier way to exchange products and services.
