    TheU.com - The Truth About College Campuses

    Let’s face it, finding the right college is hard. It requires too much headache and heartache to spend your precious dollars and time on.

    And when it comes to giving you the real scoop on college life, the all important college campus tour doesn’t quite cut it either. Nor are those slick, glossies got in the mail and used for strict propaganda and recruiting purposes terribly helpful. Thus far, the best way to see if a college is fit for you, is to attend classes for a year or two, and that, unfortunately, is a pricey option. Now, you don’t have to feel alone on your great college hunt Because now you’ve got TheU.com, a college review site with reviews submitted by actual students for your reading pleasure.. TheU.com was founded by a Columbia student, who, disappointed with the paucity of real info on campus life, decided to do something about it. What Doug Imbruce did was create a site focused on getting the best reviews of schools across the country. TheU.com has morphed into a part review, part social networking, and part YouTube, website. It’s got everything you could need to find out more about where you’ll spend the next four years of you life—forums, loan help, videos, college search tools, news and people.

    Why Theu.com might be a killer

    TheU.com is a useful and informative website for finding out the real truth about your dream school. It comes from a student for students and is designed to help you make the right choice. It also latches onto the social networking phenomena which guarantees a loyal and steady audience.

    Some questions about Theu.com

    Is TheU.com truly helpful? The site is bogged by ads and the design is busy and lacks cohesion. Will this be a turnoff to potential traffic?

    Theu.com In their own words

    “Why not create content like MTV Cribs – but feature colleges instead of celebrity homes? The content would be fun, unbiased and informative – honest about all the challenges students face arriving at each school, and an easy way to figure out where to attend college without the hassle of taking campus tours!”
