BBB Continues Effort to Provide Consumer Information to College Students

(Lexington, KY) - University of Kentucky students who live in four off-campus apartment complexes will receive free informational magnets from the Better Business Bureau of Central & Eastern Kentucky.  

The rectangular magnets are being distributed by UK Off-Campus Student Services to the following student apartment communities: The Lex, Newtown Crossing, Red Mile Village and The Courtyards.  Apartment managers have agreed to get one magnet to each unit at their complexes while supplies last.  

"The BBB wants college students to know that the BBB is available for advice to them as they begin living on their own.  They may come across situations where they need help checking out a business, avoiding a scam, or other information," said Jack Frank, President & CEO of the BBB of Central & Eastern Kentucky.  "The magnets contain the phone number and web address for the BBB, as well as those for several local, state and federal government agencies that can provide information students might need." 

The BBB is grateful to the UK Off-Campus Student Services Office, as well as the apartment communities, for their assistance in this educational outreach effort.  Any students who wish to contact the BBB for advice are welcome to do so by calling (859) 259-1008 or logging on to www.bluegrass.bbb.org.
