To start the process, just complete our fun, interactive college survey, and then give CampusDiscovery.com your best advice about college.

CampusDiscovery.com was started to help students like you solve that problem. Our goal is to collect the “inside scoop” on over 1,400 colleges across the country. Why so many colleges? Because we identified and included all of the schools that account for 99% of all full-time undergraduate students enrolled at residential colleges and universities in the country. And because we want to go beyond the top 200 or 300 schools which all the other sites and books focus on. There are hundreds of great schools to choose from, and we want to help you find the one that’s right for you!

And to say “thank you” to our survey participants from schools across the nation, we’ll be giving away one $10,000 scholarship in 2009 to help pay for college or repay student loans. So, if you’re a current college student or recent grad, and you want to help us learn what it’s really like to be a student at your campus
