Who uses online reviews?
Online college reviews are useful to a wide variety of people. We’ve designed our online review section for:
Prospective students and their parents.
Anyone trying to make a tough decision about which school to attend should get the opinions of people who’ve enrolled. Online reviews provide an important piece of the puzzle for parents and students—candid opinions they won’t find anywhere else.
Recent grads and current students.
Whether you want to rant or rave, your opinion is valuable—and can help someone else get a more complete picture of the school you attended. Help others make their decisions—by sharing your education experience.
School administrators.
Want to find out what students really think about your school? Get a sense of what you’re doing right—and identify areas for improvement. It’s valuable for school administrators to be aware of prevailing opinions and college reputation, both to hone your strengths and develop a fuller picture of where your school can improve.
It’s not easy choosing a college—but getting first-hand opinions from current and recent graduates can help you zero in on the right school for you. Our online university reviews can help prospective students and their families get a sense of the challenges of attending a specific school—and make a more informed choice about college.
