According to Wall Street Journal’s Walt Mossberg there is a new free resource that provides a fresh, revealing perspective on college selection. In his February 19, 2009 article, Mossberg writes:
“… there’s a new, free Web site that, while overseen by paid editors, is built on lively content submitted by current students at the colleges. The information isn’t just words and numbers, but includes numerous photos and videos for most schools. You also can create a small social network of people interested in the same schools or who share other common traits.
In other words, this is a college-information resource built for the age of YouTube and Facebook.
The site, Unigo.com, costs nothing to use and supports itself with ads. Although it’s only a few months old, it already covers about 250 colleges and universities, and claims to average dozens of student-created reviews, photos and videos for each college. Its sophisticated search engine lets applicants comb all this material to find just what applies to them. For example, Unigo would let you see all content relevant to an Asian-American female applicant with conservative political views.” READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE

This is Paul from Unigo writing. I would like to thank WhatsNextStudents.com and add that Unigo has just released our Back to School content. In short, our editors culled through all of our content and pulled out the best advice that college students as a sort of “how to” manage college life from social awkwardness on that first day to dealing with school admin and academics, etc. I hope this post is seen as being helpful. This content is our top-viewed currently.
