Inside College: The Insider's Guide to Everything College is new website created by Alloy Education, a division of Alloy Media & Marketing, the creators of many teen websites. What sets this website apart from most is that all of its information is given in lists.

Inside College is a website for anyone and everyone. Not only does it have a tremendous amount of information for teens looking into college and for college students, but also for anyone curious about anything to do with college. Some of the most popular lists include everything from "The Top 50 College Libraries" to "Campuses Where Movies Were Filmed" to "Colleges For Students Slow to Make Friends". The lists were written by Steven Antonoff, educational consultant and author of the book, The College Finder.

To find lists that interest you, there is a link for most popular lists, you can use their search tool, or you can browse lists by topic. The lists are divided into these overall topics:

1. Majors
2. The Learning Environment - calendars, special programs ...
3. World View - study abroad, colleges overseas ...
4. College Costs - scholarships, grants, low tuition
5. Student Body
6. Student Experience
7. Athletics
8. Hidden Gems - best schools you've never heard of
9. College Admission
10. College Trivia - random,weird, funky and fun
11. Helpful Stuff - resources the experts use

Inside College plans on adding a scholarship search tool, forums, video content and a personal profile feature soon. Additional lists will also be added. What I love about Inside College is that lists are so much quicker and more fun to read than essays. There is a list for almost anything on this website, however, if you can think of a topic that they don't have, Inside College has a "Suggest a List" link right on the homepage.
