College Visit Reports - Beta Now Live

Since the early days of our CC community, we've had lots of people report on their college visits. The problem has always been for new members interested in a college to find those visit details. So, we've created a new way to share your college visit data - go to our new College Visit Reports section, and fill in the simple form. There are a few specific questions where you can rate your visit and provide one-liner comments on those topics, and then a big text area where you can provide all of the details you want.

This is a "beta" version, so we'll post "bug report" and "suggestions for improvement" threads, too.

As I post this, the visit report area is EMPTY... virgin territory for you college touring experts. So, don't go looking for great info yet, but if you've done a visit recently and want to share, give it a try!

Visit reports are moderated, so please keep them relevant and appropriate.

PLUS, we'll be giving away some great CC prizes to our early visit report posters, so post early and often to maximize your chance to score some CC gear or other cool stuff. We'll post the details in a different thread.

And, if I haven't said it lately, thanks for sharing your college experience and advice! CC couldn't be the great resource it is without all of you who share your experience and help out newcomers. Thank you!!!

You have to be logged into the forum to post a visit report, by the way, and it will be identified with your forum username.

1/2 of my report was cut off, is there a way for you to not be able to type anymore when we reach that limit, because I didn't know where it was.

This is great--I'll be sure to cross-post my visit reports as soon as I've typed them up from notes.

The short lines are for very brief comments - any longer comments should go in the description box. We'll try to find a way to make it clear where the cutoff is.

Uh oh... I thought there would be a way to edit them afterwards for longer. Mine is woefully incomplete (I did part of one on MIT).

Damn.

Hmmm, maybe we can set it up like some college apps - you can edit and save before you finally post.

Every report I've clicked on has lead me to the one on UCSD.

That's a known issue; it's on the list to fix. It seems to be transient for some reason; wait a bit, and you'll get other reports.

BTW, you can use the "next" and "previous" arrows at the top to view different reports; that function isn't affected by the "wrong report" issue.
