<p>People constantly tell me, look at the college life, and people, and program. and stuffz like that... But since its impossible for me to visit the schools right now, i was wondering if anyone knew any good place for college info... thanks</p>
<p>Here! Ask away!</p>
<p>What are you like? What are your hobbies, personality traits, setting preferences etc...? Can you also tell us a little about your credentials so we can recomment universities within your reach.</p>
<p>You can check out princetonreview.com they have a "students say" portion for each school with quotes from actual students about academics and residential life.</p>
<p>There's lots you can do. The insider guides are a starting place. And you can read the college newspapers online to see what students are doing and talking about in the letters to the editor. You can find live-journal entries and see what students say about their life at college. Not only that, you can get in touch with the admission depts of colleges you are interested in and ask if they can put you in touch with recent alums in your area or with students when they are home on break.</p>
<p>yeah, definitely check out the book The Insider's Guide to the Colleges. It gives you a really good feel for what the student body is like.</p>
