Making smart choices simple.
BETTER INFORMATION FOR BETTER LIVING.
The internet is filled with garbage. Yet where do we go when we need answers?
We’re tired of all the garbage, and decided to do something about it. So, we’re sifting through it all to find the buried treasure. We’re talking to experts. We’re analyzing mountains of data. We’re doing whatever it takes to create content that helps you live better.
And to make this possible, we’re committed to finding a business model that doesn’t corrupt the integrity of our content. So you won’t find programmatic ad blocks on our site, nor will you find affiliate disclosures. Oh, and you definitely won’t see any ‘native ads’.
WE’RE STARTING WITH STUDENTS
Why? Because becoming a student is one of the first complex decisions you’ll make starting out — deciding where to go, how to pay for it, how to get top grades, and of course, how to land a job after college. Also, being located across the street from one of the top universities in the world, it’s the demographic we’re closest to, and know best.
So, what are we doing to help?
We’re helping students in their pre-college journey by ranking colleges and programs across the country using aggregated publicly available data. And, we’re doing it without any advertising or affiliate relationships with schools. This ensures zero bias of our results.
We’re building guides to help students succeed in the classroom by bringing together the latest research with tips and techniques championed by today’s leading experts.
We’re arming you with resources to successfully transition from college to the workforce by building databases of internship opportunities and compiling example resumes.
All of this, and we’re just getting started.
