Why is this board so active? Are this many people obsessed with college?

College Confidential used to be the go-to, but after a disastrous redesign, they lost most of their audience.

For parents in search of user-generated or first-hand information, it's Reddit or DCUM. DCUM comes up near the top of google search for most college questions, so the audience here has grown.

Reddit seems to have more students (and lots of international students), so if you want feedback from other parents, DCUM is a good resource.

It only works if parents with current college students or recent grads continue to contribute to the community by answering questions.

And frankly, it makes us feel useful as our parenting role diminishes.

Isn’t it the most active board in here with majority of responders outside DC?

don't know, that's a Jeff question.

Maryland has pretty lame in state choices outside of CP.
