In the past two years my son and I have sifted through mountains of useless information trying to find nuggets of meaning in this painful, but exciting, college search process.  </div> <bR> <div> Our web site does not seek to have the greatest quantity of information, but is here to serve as a roadsign. Our roadsign is here to point you to tools that are available on the internet, in bookstores, and elsewhere. If our roadsign had words it would scream, "Hey buddy! Quality trip planning information- this way". However, since "quality" is a much overused adult term, we prefer that our sign would utilize an overused youthful term like..."<B>Lame</B>". Thus our sign would say,</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>College Information that is so Not Lame, next 5 exits</B></I></div> <div> ...or something like that. </div> <bR> <div> However, even if you don't like our roadsign, or the title of our web site, we hope the information helps you maximize the excitement and minimize the pain in your college search journey.</div> <bR> <div>  <script
