Good college search and info sites?

<p>Hi everybody,</p>

<p>I searched around but couldn't really find any good information. Can anyone provide me with some other good college search and info sites? I am trying to find something that will substitute actually visiting some schools as some are just way too far away to get to. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>...have you seen other parts of CC? The Stats Profiles and College Visits are awesome resources.</p>

<p>I actually didn't notice those. Thanks for letting me know, they are great. I was hoping for something a little more in-depth and would also like opinions from many sources, if anyone knows any other resources, please post them.</p>

<p>US News - the $15 premium edition.
CollegiateChoice.com - DVD tours of various schools.</p>

<p>Wow, the DVD tour would be cool, but don't really want to pay for all the separate DVDs. Are there any good sites with videos like that at all the colleges? I think I am going to do the US News service. Thanks Chedva.</p>

<p>I have always like Princeton Review's counselor -o - matic. After you find schools that interest you, you can check out their websites for online DVDs. Collegeweeklive.com comes out with online virtual college fairs twice a year and has reps from the schools (students and admission people) you can chat with online. Check out their site.</p>

<p>My kids have found the student comments and the stats on Princeton Review to be very valuable. PR has its detractors, but the comments represent viewpoints from a number of students. It seems to me a lot more defensible than the single-student viewpoint you're likely to get from Aunt Betty's neighbor's friend. But what the heck is with the new PR website format? I can't find my way around it, you must remember to click on "Colleges" to input the name of a school and go to that review, and it doesn't recognize "William Mary" in the search box for the College of William and Mary!</p>

<p>gadad, I agree! The website is definitely prettier but navigation certainly didn't become any easier. Maybe it got too extravagant.</p>

<p>^^ I also don't like that there isn't Counselor-o-matic anymore :(
(or I just can't find it??) It seems like they count the "fit" based on GPA+SAT scores only?! :/</p>

<p>EDIT: Woops, never mind. Found it :P But I still find it hard to get around the site. Too crammed with pics, but pretty. Maybe I just need some time to get used to it...</p>

<p>Has collegiate tours updated their dvd/videos? I know some were a couple of years old when I bought them 2 years ago. Things do change and a "free computer" or "building a new complex" can be old news or changed. </p>

<p>This site (from admissionsadvice.com) seems very promising....I just hope it isn't just the top 50 schools, but it's a great idea and a compliment to other research.</p>

This site was helpful in looking up stats for individual colleges.</p>

<p>myusearch.com is my favorite college search site. Collegeboard.com is also good as is Petersons.com. Hope that helps.</p>

<p>There is a good bunch of information on Yahoo answers about colleges. Select category Education - Higher Education (University) and search for schools you are interested in.</p>

<p>I want to tell you but apparently CC doesn't want me to, because it censored my post.</p>
