Site Information
Content
37

This website offers extensive resources for students looking for all types of institutions. The site gives information on its purposes and practices as well as offers students a unique way to apply for higher education. In addition, it offers support for students and families by providing information on financial aid and by offering college search engines and links to virtual campus tours (among many other resources).

CollegeNET's design is simple, attractive, and eye-catching. It can be navigated easily and the layout is understandable. The planet, or portal theme is appealing and suitable to the information contained.

The number of resources provided by this site means that a large number of outside links must be accessible in order to get the maximum benefit from this site. Although a couple of the links were no longer viable, for the most part the links were apparent and functioned smoothly.

This site is a great site for students seeking any type of higher education. It gives important information and links to valuable resources, including links for financial aid and online applications. While this may not be a site where admissions professionals can seek new ideas or current information, all students should definitely utilize this valuable resource.
