| College Confidential in Chicago Tribune
"Frank, graphic and deeply addictive, it feels like a cross between college admissions, porn and heroin. Check it out at your own risk."
Nice "insider" profile of the CC community by Barbara Brotman of the Chicago Tribune: A letter of admission - College site deals, and mom is hooked.
"Then a friend sent me a link to College Confidential... She might as well have sent crack."

Haha. Can't believe we're comparable to drugs and porn!
What a step up! | |

LOL, this makes me feel like a dealer. Oh well. At least I consume my own product.

hpa10, I agree. I told myself that I was going to stop coming on here, that it wasn't healthy to be so involved on a forum that considers anything under a 700 on the SAT to be terrible. That was 2 months ago. I'm still here. lol

I agree with hpa10, a few months back I tried to stay away, but its very much like WoW (World of Warcraft), I just feel way addicted, and feel empty and like I'm missing out on some happenings when I'm disconnected.

Ah, it's so true. It's not just a forum thing in general; CC far exceeds most other forums in terms of addictive potential. I'm hooked.

i just want to go out into the street and shriek: "I don't give a f--- about what college I go to!"
that would be the first step in the 12-step program for CC-holics Anonymous.
