StudentsReview is the largest and most influential source of
uncensored insight into college campuses. Cambridge, MA, November 21, 2004
- After four years of operation, StudentsReview, the largest provider
of insider free student opinion on colleges has crossed 300,000
visitors per month, and 23,000 college reviews, making it not
only the largest, but the most trusted source of free
information for students and their families. StudentsReview guides
prospective students by providing answers to the questions that “students
wish they had known to ask”. Personal commentary and
ratings expose why nearly 40% of existing students wish that
they had attended a different college. Investing in a
college education will cost many families up to $180,000 in
cash or debt. But because of an information disconnect
between campuses and families, colleges escape accountability for the services
that they provide — seriously hurting students and families over
the long term. Through its website, StudentsReview collects surveys from
college students, alumni, graduate students, and soon Law & MBA
students of the “quality of education” at their schools, the
wealth of opportunities, and whether the school is providing what
it advertises. For example, according to students, schools such as
Pensacola Christian College advertise aggressively, but “lack of accreditation” means
that students' post-graduation opportunities are severely reduced, more than the
advertising that convinced them to attend suggested. StudentsReview is a
data collection and analysis company, and believes that colleges can
learn from the anonymous student surveys just as families do.
Because surveys are optionally anonymous, students provide deeper and
more thoughtful insight about campus problems than they would to
a university representative. Behaving responsibly, schools can use that
insight to improve their campus, service, and education for current
and future students. Some choose not to however, placing their
business interests ahead of their educational & academic charters and
their responsibility to uphold free speech. StudentsReview has been
legally threatened by select schools to alter or delete valid
surveys to convey a particular image. Most schools however,
behave responsibly and try to provide the best quality of
service that they can to students. - more -
“I am a senior in high school, and
I think that your site is one of the BEST
I have seen online. Since it isn't just the
brochure perfect things you see from the school, I actually
get a more realistic hold on what the colleges are
like [...] and I also recommended you to all my
friends. Keep up the amazing work!" “I wanted to let
you know that your site has been a great tool
for helping to pick out colleges, plus picking out the
B.S. that the colleges feed you themselves. I also find
your page source very funny and entertaining to read! You've
hidden quite a few gold nuggets in there!"
