title: Implementing a log in/sign up feature
body: <p>So i'm an intermediate web designer. I want to make a website that lets students at my university collaborate by advertising work and being able to apply. It's a digital arts university and collaborating is important for everyone.</p>
  
  <p>I want to make the site exclusive to students at my uni, therefore will need a sign up/ log in feature, and I have no idea what I need or how to go about it. I'm guessing databases are required? I have database knowledge, so shouldn't be a problem.</p>
  
  <p>I also want to make the sign up feature exclusive to students with an e-mail domain specific to my uni. I know this is possible, but guessing this would require "verification" e-mails to be sent automatically, which makes things harder.</p>
  
  <p>So what i'm asking, is for some guidance on the matter, if anyone has experience or knows of some good resources I could use, that would be great.
  ps. I'm not interested in having "profiles" and pages for each member, just want it as a security feature more than anything.</p>
  
  <p>thanks alot!</p>
