Why beSocial Over Other Platforms Like Discord or Telegram?

While other platforms like Discord, Telegram, or Discourse have their merits, beSocial stands out. Our users have lovingly nicknamed it the “baby of Reddit and Discord,” and for good reason:

2. Our Own Branding: Nothing feels better than being on a platform that represents your identity. With beSocial, the branding is all about Amity University Online, creating a true sense of belonging for students when they click that home button. 
3. Virtual Campus: beSocial Amity University Online Platform allows thousands of Amity Online students to gather together beyond the usual classroom to exchange meaningful content, thoughts, and views, and learn from them in both structural forms of a community platform i.e; Forum based & discussion based all at a single place!
