I haven’t done a post for review me for ages, perhaps a year or more – however, this offer really caught my imagination.

LVUTV

It’s basically a website that has collated the information of colleges across America into an easy digestible format for prospective students. Students can study the wealth of information and make comparisons before settling on a shortlist.

You can search for colleges by a number of criteria, including rank, state and size. Each college website offers various other information including the basics such as address and phone number through to the average cost of supplies and selectivity. The site offers a dedicated facility to make college comparisons based on statistical data – this alone would be an invaluable tool.

But there’s more…perhaps the most exciting feature is the student reviews – short video clips of students providing the insider knowledge that can only be gleaned from those in the know, like what the classes are like, where the best bars are, and what the general atmosphere is like. This feature also has a search function, so you can type in anything you like and it will find the most appropriate video clips.

I think LVUTV is invaluable to someone considering their academical future. I’m already wondering if the UK has anything similar, because this is very impressive both in it’s conception and useability.
