College Search
"By Students for Students"
Since 2002
In 2002, College Prowler revolutionized the college search industry with a "by students for students" approach. By hiring student authors at campuses across the country and surveying thousands of college students each month, we created the first "insider" college guides—full 160-page books devoted to each school, written by actual students on campus.
Today, CollegeProwler.com has more than 700,000 student reviews and coverage on over 7,000 schools. Each month, more than 1 million high school and college students visit CollegeProwler.com to find and research schools and scholarships.

We are the most comprehensive college resource on the web, with stats, rankings, student reviews, insider tips, photos, and videos on nearly every school in the country.
