Unless you are hideously ugly or very undesirable in some way, you don't need to visit providers.  Dude, you are in college.  There is plenty of ass available for free.

There is always some cost, be it monetary (dinners, gifts, etc.) and/or psychological and emotional (the mind games of dating, etc.).  I wish I knew about the Hobby wayyy back when I was a student, may have saved me a lot of trouble..

To the OP, try P411 or DateCheck, they may be able to help.

Most good providers don't want to see someone as young as as college student.  To have any chance, you'll need good verification, which is hard to get, though you can call P411's 800# and they'll tell you what to provide in order to get registered.  If you can do that, you can see their "newbie friendly" providers.  If you can't, you'll be stuck with Backpage girls of dubious reliability.

I will assume you are a college student. If you are a high school student, this is a conversation none of us want to have here.

Trust me, college is an open door of sexual activity. I don't care how you look, how overweight and sloppily fat you may be, how many pimples cover your face, or how socially inept you come across to others, ANYBODY (let me repeat that: ANYBODY) can get laid in college. Its not rocket science. Go to the weekly frat parties on Friday and Saturday evening. Go to the dormitory parties held nightly. Go to the local college bar that looks the other way and allows underage drinking (not that hard to find). Trust me; you attend enough of these events, YOU WILL GET LAID. You will NOT be masturbating forever. Both college men and women are ALL looking to get laid and explore their developing sexuality. For heaven's sake, you should even be able to even get the occasional hand job/ or blow job in the restroom. EVERYBODY is horny and looking for sex. Seriously, getting laid in college should be as easy as passing your classes.  

Second, I'll assume that you are not independently wealthy and you do not have a trust fund to utilize. From an economic standpoint, seeing a provider is a complete waste of mommy and daddy's money. Let me warn you that hobbying is addictive and EXTREMELY expensive. You will be hooked and before you know it, in addition to spending the discretionary income mommy and daddy give you, you will next be spending your textbook money as well as your food money. Boy, will the shit hit the proverbial fan when your parents find out! I'd love to be a fly on the wall during that conversation.

And don't believe for one second that once you START hobbying, you can stop anytime you want. Once you pay money for a sexual encounter, the bottom line is that you will be hooked. You will think its the greatest thing in the world and your life as a hobbyist will begin. Conversely, if you do not enjoy the first experience, you will be so annoyed  that you wasted your (or mommy/daddy's) money , that you will immediately find another lady and book a session. Thus the cycle begins.

The bottom line is that you are in college and should enjoy the best four years of your life (at least the last four years you will enjoy with no responsibility) Look I know your hand is getting tired from jerking off and you want to get laid (again, in case you missed my point, getting laid in college is really not that difficult) but the LAST thing you need to do is see a provider. Now when you are older, you may have other reasons to see a provider in addition to sex (a sounding board for advice, a date for a company function or business dinner, etc). When you are 18-21, the SOLE purpose of seeing a provider is to get laid. Period. Dude, let's take a step back and reevaluate your situtaion. YOU DO NOT NEED A PROVIDER TO GET LAID. College will afford you many many opportunities for sex.  

That may have been your experience, and you may think it transfers to all others, but it's simply not a universal truth. I went through college and grad school without getting laid once. Without self-confidence, it just doesn't happen, college or not.

their are ways to get verified.

Contact a few ladies you want to see and see if they can work with on a way to get verified.  They may have a few ideas on how they could.

The main thing is just be upfront and honest.

probably get free sex. You guys collectively are a hot group of good lovers!

But why would you want it? You're "paying her to leave". College kids have the same reasons for hobbying as retirees.

And men, lets not be judgmental! "College" could be any age! Doesn't mean 18-22 these days. He could be going back.

I suggest p411 and do a newbie friendly provider search.

The only reason why a college student would hobby is that person is older and don't care for the games, or the person wants a fresh face for every encounter. In the second case, even that can be managed at any large college or in an area with lots of colleges.

One trend that I see more of is that more and more college women are escorting. That definitely was not the situation when I started hobbying more than two decades back.

Having a look that a coed like helps. I have seen some pretty shy men get laid like bricks when I was in college. I was on the shy, studious, serious side in college, but even I got blown during a room stuffing party. I happened to be in the right, semi private place with a coed that had her eyes on me for a test drive.

I live near Auburn and I see both college students and professors quite frequently.
It's the same old story, I don't have the time and energy for a relationship..........
Or I just want some strange.
