Map your future with Collegespeaks

I still remember by friends running around searching hundreds of colleges  to get information on admission procedure and other campus particulars.  I wish we all knew that we would soon have this entire information just on one podium. Now, here’s one that will help you make those decisions about what college you should join a whole lot easier – by connecting with students from colleges and reading their comments and reviews on their alma mater. Surprised?

I’m talking about the new online college community, Collegespeaks. This site makes a successful attempt at providing a common platform for colleges and students to share specifics about the campus, education and much more.

It is the first time colleges and students will be provided a platform to come together for facilitating beginners. This concept has just begun to snowball as Collegespeaks is bringing a different piece to the table.

Collegespeaks is the perfect solution for educational institutions to provide the perfect website where they can place information and be visible to a large number of students all over. While all colleges want to reserve a good website for their institute or college and reach out to the masses, and a number of college have actively promoted websites, they haven't necessarily been able to coordinate efforts. Collegespeaks has been designed to enable colleges to quickly create mini sites within the website, add content without space constraints and update it as often as they like while gaining mass students viewer-ship. It also helps students effectively search colleges and gain access to course, infrastructure and faculty related information amongst other things. The website further helps colleges to promote events taking place at their college, education methods followed and add campus pictures and news.

How did the concept come about?

As stated by Akshay, CEO Vinfotech “It is very important to know real campus experiences as it gives the true feel of life at a college. Collegespeaks encourages active participation from students who don’t otherwise have a platform to share their experiences which are helpful for those who are looking out to shortlist colleges they would like to join”.

To accomplish this, an interactive and easy to use website was required and Collegespeaks team comprehended this to create a platform that provided both. The website focuses on:

- Providing colleges easy access for adding and updating information about themselves: faculty and specific course information, link to their website and email, along with a comprehensive list of opportunities, programs and other infrastructure available in the campus while creating a central resource that lists all the college resources available in states
- Also, providing a place where students can express their experiences and views about academics, extra-curricular and infrastructural support available at the colleges they are attending.

All these features make Collegespeaks a unique resource that connects all college resource programs and aids the decision of students short listing colleges to apply to.
