my college has a very well developed web interface for these kinds of things...
web forum, chat rooms, classified adds, blackboards, student directory, restaurant/movie reviews, weather, grades, bursar account, email, add/drop class database links, library catalog... it just goes on and on.
ours is a home-grown app... the best example i've seen of any school's web community efforts is the University of Oklahoma's SIN (student information network).
sin.ou.edu if you want to check it out.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
