Wall Street Journal's "UniGo" is a great resource for all college bound students and their families.
The site has videos, photos, and reviews of school from students at the schools. While the site is supported by ads and covers only 250 colleges and universities it has the potential to supply "real" information for the high school student searching for their "perfect fit" school. The site claims that 15,000 students contributed to the profiles of the 250 colleges represented. Wall Street Journal's Mossberg notes that, "the videos are the most interesting part of Unigo, because they provide a look at current students and at the campus that isn't often captured in standard guides. Most of the videos are fairly short, some only containing the answer to a single question like "What's the best or worst thing about this school?" But others include opinions on issues like what kinds of students fit in best or worst on campus, or minitours of the campus or of typical dorms."
This is a good start for unigo.com. It looks like thousand of hours and dollars were spent obtaining valuable data for students.
