Review

You can't pass up the granddaddy of college rankings. While the list has been assailed for favoring colleges that spend a lot on students and faculty, it still has useful information about student life, campus services and the amount of financial aid students receive on average. Perhaps the best part . . . is all of the articles offering advice on college admissions, studying abroad, application fees and anything else you might want to know about. -- The Washington Post

. . . gathers up all the pertinent information about a college and some of the best advice possible, all in one organized place. Sure, you could find that information on your own by clicking around a school s website and then by using various other sites, but who doesn t prefer convenience? Time is of the essence during application season, as deadlines are quickly arriving. -- USA Today
