I need to find places to post my advertisement of a product designed
for college student.

I'm looking for addresses of BBS, Newsgroups or Mailing list for each
of the top 50 major universities or colleges in US (ranked by student
population).

It's okay even if the BBS or Newsgroup is private-registration only.

I must emphatically advise against this. What you are planning to do
is commonly considered as spamming. Placing commercial ads in
newsgroups is detested by Usenet users, placing commerical ads in
bulletin boards is usually against the individual forum rules, and
sending out unsolicited commercial e-mails is even illegal.

Don't do it. It's a very bad idea. You'd only ruin the reputation of your product.

Thanks for your concern, I understand what you are talking about.

I'll be looking for the "for sale" or "classified-ads" section of the
BBS or Newsgroup. The college that I graduated from has a "for sale"
newsgroup, and students would post all kind of ads there. I don't
think this is spamming as long as I don't send unsolicited e-mails to
personal address.

You might be better off chasing down college newspapers with online
presence, like this one at Purdue University:
Purdue Exponent Online

At my daughter's university the BBS is a private-registration only service.

Thank you Omnivorous,

I didn't know that those BBS would be private-registration only. I'll
try to contact some student associations of those universities to find
out more.
