Urban College Launches New Tool for Prospective Students

Urban College of Boston is excited to announce the launch of TruLeague, an innovative tool allowing prospective students to chat directly with college ambassadors to gain real, authentic insights into the Urban College experience and community. This initiative is designed to deepen transparency for prospective students while celebrating the diverse voices that define the college’s culture.

TruLeague: Elevating Student Connections

TruLeague is a seamless digital tool available on Urban College’s “Ask Us” webpage, providing a space where prospective students can connect with current students and alumni based on their interests, academic programs, or spoken language. Whether students want to learn about navigating Urban College’s flexible online classes, balancing work and study, or the support systems on campus, TruLeague supports these conversations in real time, even auto-translating chats to ensure nobody is left out because of language barriers.

Why Connecting to College Ambassadors Matters

Urban College recognizes that its best storytellers are its students and alumni–living proof of its impact on their educational journeys and lives. By launching TruLeague, the college is giving future students open access to honest advice and personal perspectives from those who have walked similar paths. These conversations reflect the richness of Urban College’s multilingual education, diverse programs, and unwavering commitment to working adults seeking higher education.
