Unigo - A New Way to Research Colleges

Walt Mossberg recently reviewed a new and different way to research colleges, whether you are a parent, or high school student.

There is new sight that has harnessed the qualities of social networks such as Facebook and Internet Video such as YouTube. Unigo provides edited content by students at the colleges in the form of words and videos.

Like Facebook, you can create networks of contacts. Like YouTube you can hear video from anywone who wants to express an opinion about a school, the social scene, academics or simply how one "feels" about being a student there. You may select perspectives from specific ethnic groups, colleges, male or female perspectives. It seems to strike a good balance between immediacy and professionalism of edited content.

Contact The College Trail experts to find out how to optimize your student's candidacy by selecting the right trail and the right college that fit your student's unique needs.
