How to Subscribe to or Stay in Touch With Student Life

Updated

Student Life (studlife.com) is the independent newspaper of Washington University in St. Louis. If you want its latest coverage delivered to you or want a direct line to the newsroom, the site offers two paths: a subscription entry point and a "Stay in Touch!" section. The site's own materials confirm a subscribe option exists and that a Stay in Touch area is present, but they don't spell out the exact form fields, pricing, or delivery frequency — so treat the steps below as a map of where to look, not a guarantee of what each page contains.

What the site itself confirms

Element What the site shows What it does not specify
Subscription A "subscribe" option is referenced on the site Price, term length, print vs. digital, login requirement
Stay in Touch A section with this heading exists Which contact methods it lists (email, social, form)
Content sections News, Sports, Forum, Scene —

Because pricing and login terms aren't stated in the available site information, don't assume the subscription is free or that no account is needed. Check the subscribe page directly before committing.

How to subscribe

  1. Go to studlife.com.
  2. Look for the subscribe link or button — the site's own signals point to a "subscribe" entry rather than a buried menu item.
  3. Open that page and read what it actually asks for: whether it's a paid tier, a newsletter signup, or a student-oriented print delivery.
  4. Complete whatever form or checkout it presents, then confirm you received a verification or welcome message.

Expected result: you're on the distribution list or have an active subscription. If the page asks for payment details, that confirms it's a paid product; if it only asks for an email, it's likely a free newsletter — but verify rather than infer.

How to stay in touch

The "Stay in Touch!" heading is the site's own label for its contact/connection area. Use it to:

  • Find the newsroom's contact channels for tips, corrections, or letters.
  • Locate social media or newsletter links if they're listed there.
  • Reach the right desk — the paper organizes coverage under News, Sports, Forum, and Scene, so route your message to the matching section.

If the Stay in Touch section doesn't list a method you need, the section pages themselves (especially Forum, which typically handles opinion and reader submissions) are the next place to check.

Common snags

  • Assuming it's free. The presence of a subscribe option doesn't tell you the price. Confirm on the page.
  • Expecting a login you don't need — or one you do. The site information doesn't state whether subscribing requires an account. Be ready for either.
  • Looking for a contact form that isn't there. "Stay in Touch" may mean social links or email addresses rather than a form. Read what's actually listed.

Quick decision guide

  • Want ongoing coverage delivered? Start at the subscribe entry and check the terms before entering payment info.
  • Want to reach the paper once? Use the Stay in Touch section, and match your message to News, Sports, Forum, or Scene.
  • Just want to read? You don't need either — the sections are browsable directly.
