I've absolutely no idea what this will offer people but I've signed up through curiosity.

However:

"Absolutely no spam policy."

"We have generated a personalised link for you. Send it to your friends and if at least 3 people use it to sign up - you will receive your invitation much faster!"

I'm not sure I follow your logic entirely

Also, you're missing a favicon. Sorry if this comment seems harsh, it's meant as constructive critisicm

This landing page really does not entice me to leave my e-mail details.

I concur.

There isn't even a little description to say WHAT I'm leaving my details for.

Well they love their users. You know, those people who are already using the product. Which is, erm...

I really don't understand why people do this..

Interesting filename: http://forstudent.co.uk/skin/img/facebook.png

It's quite possible that the image was also used for their facebook group image and simply not renamed when pulling together the landing page.

I cannot seem to find any information yet about what this is for other than a social network for networking between students.. do you think in general that sometimes it is better to provide nothing over something especially for a new 'social' product?

So, can you tell me what it is forstudent does?
