Lifetopia Signs on Tulane University for Lifetopia Roommates(R) and Lifetopia Housing(R)

Virtual Housing Office Helps Overcome College Housing Challenges in New
Orleans

NEW YORK, June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Lifetopia Corp. (http://www.lifetopia.net)
today announced that Tulane University has implemented its customized
college and university roommate and housing solutions, Lifetopia
Roommates(R) and Lifetopia Housing(R), to provide its students with a
secure and comprehensive housing resource. Both web-based platforms cater
to the special housing needs of colleges and universities -- a particular
challenge in New Orleans. Adopting these specialized, online environments
will provide the Tulane community with wider housing options. Notably,
Lifetopia Roommates presents in-coming students the unique benefit of
roommate self-selection, while Lifetopia Housing provides a private,
centralized, and community-based on and off-campus housing resource.

"This is an important partnership for Tulane University, particularly
within the housing services division," said Marty Brantley, Director of
Housing Services, Tulane University. "We are committed to providing the
highest quality of housing service to our students, and partnering with
Lifetopia will enable us go beyond our typical offerings and cater to each
student's unique housing needs."

Together, Lifetopia Roommates and Lifetopia Housing act like a virtual
housing office that is open 24/7 and fully accessible, anywhere and
anytime. Safety, usability and time-saving are the cornerstones of these
stream-lined processes. With Lifetopia Roommates, housing officers easily
set and manage roommate search criteria, creating a controlled, secure
environment where students are empowered to safely self-select compatible
roommates. Lifetopia Housing centralizes a housing department's entire
inventory into a single online marketplace. The solution reduces vacancy of
school-owned properties by leveraging their visibility while allowing
students to see what is available in real-time.

"We are pleased to be working with Tulane University," said Bobbi
Babitz, CEO of Lifetopia. "Through our partnership, Tulane University will
unburden their students' quest for finding housing and roommates in a city
that has been challenged during the process of its rebirth. We are proud to
be a part of this solution for Tulane and its community."
