A new site popped up today that allows "REAL students to share their college experience so that others can EXPLORE and learn what post-high school is really like."
The site, Communiversity.com, allows users (primarily current students and alumni - though it appears anyone can register) to post comments, rate their school and upload photos and share their feelings as related to their school.
The idea behind the site, is to allow prospective students the ability to find out more information about potential schools directly from the source - current and recent students. By allowing students to rate/comment on their school, Communiversity is separating itself from the sites that offer specific rating and measuring analysis.
As of the now, the site is very new. Not much content is available. Nonetheless, it is probably another good community-driven site to keep an eye on.

You beat me to it Seth. I have been emailing the creator Michael Sprague back and forth the last couple of weeks. If they can effectively target their audience, it will be very interesting.
They should say it's alpha. I signed up but couldn't do much of anything else. I guess I'll just have to keep track of this one.
I also tried a few different things and kept getting errors. Perhaps they should have tested the site before launch.
Thanks for the article Seth - we love to hear feedback and curious to what troubles you had with the site.
Best,
Michael
