<p>I used
collegeboard.com - for stats
wikipedia.com - for history or scandals
students review - students write reviews of colleges
collegedirt - polls on differant aspects
college confidential - duh!
and the school website</p>
<p>For basic info I just use the school's site and CollegeBoard. If I become interested enough, I'll take a peak at their Wikipedia entry and what's buzzing about them on the forums here. Usually I can find all that I need on the school's site though. Randomly googling the school's name often brings up some interesting news, though it's a lot to dig through.</p>
