Unigohome

As we continue our perusal of this week's "college issue" of the New York Times Magazine, we came across an article about a new online college guide called Unigo.  Check out Penn's page here--normally we would watch some of the videos and summarize them for you, but as we are currently headphone-less in Van Pelt, we cannot.

The piece treats the idea as if it's completely revolutionary, but what the old fogeys at the NYT fail to mention is that you can't swing a cat on a college campus without hitting some brilliant new media scheme that claims it will  revolutionize life as we know it.  Ever heard of CollegeProwler, ratemyprofessors, and, god, like a bazillion other sites that do the exact same thing, which is essentially providing high schools with information about colleges that will have little to no bearing on their actual college experience?  Seriously, picking a college is so subjective, and of the tons and tons of inequities that plague the college admissions process, providing bratty high schoolers with more dishy information is not exactly a priority.  In conclusion, NYT, please stick to taking foxy pictures of our faculty, and leave the internet to us.
