What's the best way to find out about a college without visiting?

<p>I can only visit a limited number of schools due to certain limitations. For those that I may not be able to visit, what's the best way for me to learn as much about it as possible?</p>

<p>their website... look at the list of student organizations, check out a course webpage, try to find floorplans and pics of the dorms, etc.</p>

<p>Carolyn pointed this out to me, but it has definitely helped. You can try searching livejournal under "interests" and type in the school you are interest in. It certainly gave me a feel for the student bodies and the opportunity to ask questions.</p>

<p>hey! thats a good idea... anyone have any more, because it is so hard to be able to visit everywhere...</p>

<p>I always like the slide shows and video tours</p>
