Our Vision
We want every student to make the best informed decision when
applying to college. Traditionally, the best way to get this information has been to visit
campuses and go on tours, talk to school staff and visit the city where the school is.
Deciding which school to go is one the biggest decisions a student can make.
But students and parents might not have the time or money to make a trip to visit these colleges.
We want to help students make the best informed decision when applying and searching for colleges.
You will get tips and ratings on schools, as well as get the chance to ask questions and connect with other
students.

Why This Exists
Message from Founder: When I was applying to schools, I visited over 60 websites to check out resources, academics, engineering program, town, and more. School websites gave me outdated information that was hard to find, and it always felt like I was visiting a site that said "come to our school because we are the best."
I created this platform, for users to get opinions from different parties. Asking questions and gaining as much knowledge about a school or city can help you make this big decision. Use this platform to connect with other students, just read some tips, or ask your specific questions.
