What's the best site to help you decide which college/university to go to?

A lot of people believe in college rankings, which is what you'll find on the web.  Personally I think that rankings are overly simplistic and miss a lot of important information.  The most important ranking, however, is the US News & World Report list, (available on their website) which comes out every year.  They mess with their criteria every year just so they can print a new list and sell more magazines- it's really kind of a scam.  But from year to year, there are some schools which are consistently on top.  It also has a lot of statistical information on each school, which can be helpful in just finding out more about a place.\n\nAsk: Do the students have a lot of course choices?  Is the housing expensive?  Are the professors good?  Do the graduates get jobs?  Is there much diversity?  Is the school too big/small or too urban/rural for you?\n\nLet me give you a piece of advice, however.  Don't just rely on the web or statistics to give you information about colleges.  NOTHING can replace a college visit for giving you the feel of a place before you decide to apply there.  Second best would be to talk to people who are students there or recent graduates.  Most admissions offices can put you in touch with someone to answer your questions, and you can contact the admissions people through the university's website.

http://www.studento.com/ \nwww.push.co.uk\n\nBut the best and my personal favourite is: http://www.unofficial-guides.com/guides/ simply because it tells you what the accommodation is like, what nights out are like and also theres a comments board, so that ex-students can give their opinions.

The Princeton Review Guide to Colleges seems the best "insiders" look at the various schools..also you can pick up the US News and World Report of Colleges and Universities and see how "exclusive" they are and where your department might be ranked nationally.

http://www.topherreimroc.com/FullScholarship\n\n-I used that website senior year of high school during the big college search and it helped me search through colleges based on specific information(Such as Majors, Cost, Location, and Scholastic Rank) I was looking for. Not only was that a huge help, but it also has scholarships, student loans, and college aids you can apply for right there on the website. I'd highly recommend it.

The "best" college for you is the one that best suits your specific, individual needs and preferences.  How do you know which college is the best?\n\nKeep in mind that the "best college" or "best university" for you is one that will maximize your learning potential and knowledge. When deciding which institutions you should apply to, create your own student-centered ranking system. In your personal college ranking system, account for your educational goals and career objectives; the college’s entrance requirements, degree and course offerings, and reputation in the field in which you will earn a degree; transferability of credit; your learning style and preferences; the college’s teacher-student ratios; the campus location, environment and housing options; the availability of student support services on campus (medical services, tutoring, wellness programs); and, finally, the cost (after financial aid is applied). \n\nIn the end, what's going to matter is whether (a) you actually have or will have a degree at the point of admissions to law school and (b) how you rated in the admissions pool.   The issue of  WHERE you earned your undergraduate degree will only be important  IF you intent to pursue a law degree from the same school where you earned your undergraduate degree.\n\nBest of luck!
