Hear why universities love Homebase
100% of universities that implement Homebase continue with Homebase.
Homebase is revolutionizing the way we prepare our students and scholars. We are meeting them where they need us to be rather than asking them to figure out our different systems. We’ve seen a large reduction in the number of questions we receive.

The out-of-the box content from Homebase made this a no-brainer. We were able to customize and launch our site in less time than we traditionally spend preparing for orientation each year. Launching orientation next year will require almost no effort.
