I sort of agree with M2CK in that in using these sites for my son’s search, I found them to be somewhat accurate. The most obvious thing that I found was that the larger the college, the larger the postings and the larger the postings, the more accurate the depiction of the subject matter. Also, for some of the smaller colleges, there were postings out there that were prety old and because of that, found them to be innaccurate once we did our tours and fact finding. So, as M2CK states they were not very reliable.

One troubling thing that we encountered, was that some of these sites did tip us off to a problem area as far as a particular college was concerned, and when we tried to get that problem area addressed with admissions, they kind of ducked and ran. In the end, it did help somewhat with the college search, but be careful not to put too much belief in the postings. Ask questions of admissions, and then you may be better able to discern what is fact and fiction.
