An online forum with elitist and nerdy, overachieving students who are constantly worried about whether they will get into a top-ranking school
A (hyped-up) example of a post on a forum in College Confidential:
OP: Hello everyone at College Confidential! My name is SuperAchiever5000. Anyways, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY CHANCES for the Ivies, Duke, NYU, and Washington University in St. Louis?
I have a 4.99 GPA and a perfect SATI, with eight SATIIs (including French, German, Spanish, and Chinese) each at 770 or above. I'm just worried that I'm not special enough. I'm president of the entire freakin school and have volunteered more than 500 hours at the local shelter and pound. I play the piano and the violin. I haven't had that many awards, but I did win the international math competition. Also, one summer I found the cure to AIDs.
Do you think I have a chance to get into my selected schools?
Reply1: You have a shot! Go for it!
Reply 2: I'd say match for the Ivies, match for WUSTL, but high reach for NYU just cuz...
Reply3: No way, Reply2! I'd say OP with those stats will get in anywhere!
OP: Thanks guys for the encouragement! Anyone else? Wish me luck!

Get the college confidential mug.A fairly well known liberal arts college located in the heart of Boston, with specialties in the performing arts, film, journalism, and communications. Overall, a pretty kick ass place, especially since Jay Leno and the Fonz are alum. Students are artsy.

Get the Australian College mug.Berklee College of Music is a music school in Boston, known for its top notch teachers and world class graduates.
It is also very overpriced and has very, very few females attending. Fortunately Boston Conservatory is close by which has a very low male population making for...well you know where I'm going with this. Also a very high percentage of students are metrosexual or asian, or both. Metrasian.
Extracurricular activities besides practicing or jamming can almost positively include smoking mad blunts and drinking 40s.
Over all an excellent college.

Get the Berklee College of Music mug.Business college 10 miles outside of Boston where there is an average incoming SAT of 1200, named one of the "12 Hot Schools for 2004" by News Week, hotel-like dorm buildings, resort like campus, and probably the best technological advanced campus and learning labs in the country. With a ranking of "Top 50 Undergrad Business Schools in the Country" the acceptance rate is becoming very low.
On the other hand, many girls typically wonder if their next pair of shoes will come from Gucci or Prada, where guys go tanning and pop their collars while thinking there is nothing at all wrong with it. BMWs and Audi's roll around everywhere on campus, with the ocassional 100k+ head turing sports car driven by a weathy, tight jean wearing international student.
Frat life is a joke and no one cares about it's sports teams. Drinking is encouraged on campus through the existence of it's own Pub and registered keg parties in the dorms. While there are many down to earth friendly students, the business nature of the school attracts even more wealthier New Englanders and international students who are only concerned about making enormous amounts of money some day.

3. A campus full of men who break up with Scrippsies by telling them that they "can't see this ending in marriage."
