The quality of the content along with the engaging presentation makes this one of the very finest financial education products I have seen. I use MoneyU in my classes in the last month of school. It’s a sure cure for senioritis.

My students could not put this game down, and even played it in other classes, when they should not have. Every one of them scored 80% or better on the posttest.

I actually did get a lot out of it.  I think it’s a great program for first year students.
