Are "Student Review" sites to be trusted?

I’ve recently been reading reviews on the better-known “student review” sites, and the college in question that I’m looking at seems to have a sad running trend in its reviews: apparently all its students are close-minded and judgmental, among other things. The key word there being “apparently.” Every other college I’ve looked at reviews for seems like their reviewers are ALSO crotchety old crones looking to show everyone just how judge-y, rude, and inconsiderate their college was.

Have I just been looking at really bad colleges? Or are most student reviews written by extremely biased people?
