Adding colleges to the Colleges forum

That is true, when I found out anything about Drew 4 years ago, I had quite a few posters tell me things, one wrote a great trip review (before we had that site) others told me about scholarship offers their children had gotten, etc. But the forum itself was not that active. I’ve been surprised to see that there were new posts there and other college sites because, as you said, there isn’t a “new post” signal.
Unfortunately, although there were a few excited students last year going to Drew, I think they fade away when they get busy with school. Maybe a search for older posts will help. I’ve had some luck with that, parents will sometimes write back about their child’s experience even though they are a junior now, not a freshman. The fastest replies come from posters that have the “automatic emails” that tell them someone wrote…others tell me they hadn’t checked in for 3 months and apoligize although they are doing you a favor.
