True, but this site has been a a huge help. When we hear from college A or B, the first thing I do is check it out on here-especially financial aid. I avoid the ‘chance me’ stuff like the plague, but there are many helpful comments. We were interested in one college, but the comments on here made it clear that this particular school was not a good fit. I remember the bad ole days, when the consumer had to just hope some of the puffery College A or B put out was close to the truth. This site arms us as consumers, allowing people to post both sides of issues-a true “marketplace of ideas”, and generally, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
