Edmonds
Community College--An Insider's
View
Collegeconfidential.com
is a site where students and parents compare notes about colleges.
Less well known is one of the site’s new sections — called “campus
visits” — with hundreds of reports (filed anonymously) that describe
everything from atmosphere in the dining hall (“the staff in the
cafeteria were very unfriendly,” wrote TheVeganActress of Knox
College) to the small details (“little or no air conditioning. Dirty
bathrooms,” drummerdude_07 wrote of Dartmouth).
Another site that compares colleges is College Prowler, which also
publishes 233 college guidebooks. It has finished processing survey
data from current students. This information is on a searchable
database at
Collegeprowler.com
“We grade schools in nontraditional categories, and
we’re particularly strong at helping you make sure
you’re going to fit in socially,” said Luke Skurman,
chief executive of College Prowler.
