[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unigo college reviews by students:
https://www.unigo.com/colleges[/quote]
I have never heard of Unigo. I suppose the actual comments by students might be helpful, but as a factual resource, all it has going for it is humor value. Here’s what it has to say about Mary Washington, for example:

“Admissions at UMW are considered Selective, with ,48% of all applicants being admitted.
In the school year, of the students who applied to the school, only 16 of those who were admitted eventually ended up enrolling.
0% of incoming freshmen are in the top half of their high school class. 0% were in the top quarter, and 0% were in the top tenth. ”

Or Willam & Mary:

“Admissions at W&M are considered More Selective, with ,67% of all applicants being admitted.
In the school year, of the students who applied to the school, only 10 of those who were admitted eventually ended up enrolling.”

So maybe read the student reviews but ignore any actual statistics. 😂😂[/quote]

You aren't in the studen tlife reviews. I learned about Unigo here a few years ago. Maybe its been taken over by AI? But the actually kid written reviews were helpful (you have to dig into the site to  get the scroll down). Example for Cornell:

Cornell University is a school that attracted me through its rigorous academics, its vibrant student body, and its competitive nature. I specifically was drawn to its computer science program that is boasted to be one of the best in the nation. It has the tendency to over-prepare their students in terms of skill sets needed to succeed in a STEM space. This has definitely enhanced my visibility in regards to opportunities which I am extremely grateful for. As for the student body and campus culture, there are always so many events and clubs for students to connect with one another. Furthermore, despite Cornell's student population containing only 10% black students, there are so many organizations and connectivity that increase my feeling of belonging on campus. On top of that, Cornell has a party school reputation, so it's really good at allowing you to find time to decompress and have fun outside of your studies.[/quote]

Like when you click on "Tell us about the food and dining options" it takes you to these kinds of reviews?
It was helpful for my kid. 
But you can be a Debbie Downer if you need to, in order to make yourself feel better.

"Food at Cornell is FANTASTIC. Look up rankings of best food at colleges, and we're usually up there in the top 5 or so. There's food being sold in practically every building on campus, whether it's soup at the Temple of Zeus, sandwiches in Duffield, and all the delicious all-you-care-to-eat options. All of the buffet-style eateries are pretty fantastic, especially on west campus. Stay away from Okenshield's . . . that one gets a little iffy. It depends on the person, but I'll attest that it's the worst food on campus. Everything else is great and tasty and wonderful, though. If not for all the walking I do on campus, I'd have gained my freshman 15 in the first month."[/quote]
