<p>How and where can I find more information on colleges besides what the websites, college guides, etc. says. I want to learn more about different schools and decide whether I would fit in better there. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>well what kind of information are you looking for?</p>
<p>read the college catalog online or send for a paper copy
visit
call departments and admissions officers on the phone
write letters
high school guidance counselors
ask teachers</p>
<p>the college guides and websites actually have a lot of good stuff</p>
<p>Check out livejournal communities, etc., sites like epinions.com, or ratemy professors.</p>
<p>also user contributed info like</p>
<p>campusdirt.com
studentsreviews.com</p>
<p>^ But take these with a grain of salt. They can be helpful, but they can also represent small sample sizes.</p>
