[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM is the best among all forums.  It’s particularly relevant for private school kids as there are still some private school parents staying around.  It’s also an excellent place if your DCs are working towards T20 schools.  At the same time, it’s diverse, having discussions on a very broad range of topics.  Because it’s anonymous, we have some snarky comments but at least some are funny.[/quote]

I actually think DCUM is the worst one out there. The anonymous nature of this forum allows people to say some crazy stuff without providing good reasons/facts.[/quote]

Yeah some of the most ignorant takes I’ve ever seen regarding college have come from this site.[/quote]

Why ? Because their experience & opinion is different than yours ?

The other main college website is essentially an echo chamber and a good portion of the advice is objectively incorrect. Also, it is a website full of cliques.

DCUM is a great resource with honest thoughts posted because users aren't vying for more "likes" than other posters. [/quote]

Are you high? DCUM is pretty much a huge cesspool of garbage with some insightful nuggets sprinkled in.

CC has a significant contingent of very knowledgeable people who often point to data like a schools CDS, or actual statistics for schools like the UCs. There are some people who are consistent in their comments (like the guy who always goes to budget or says ABET is all that matters because his kid went to Bama) but the good thing is that everyone has a user name so you can just ignore them if you like.

If someone is looking for advice on D3 High Academic recruiting I don't know of a better place for advice.[/quote]
