The USA's TSR

Hi guys

Anyone could tell me the website in USA which actually has the same role as TSR in the UK?

I know it was somewhere here, but I just can't find it

Thanx in advance

You're thinking of college confidential
Collegeconfidential

But the people on it are crazy and help fuel a very competitive, obsessive applications culture I just can't fully endorse.

I haven't been on TSR much in the last 3 years, but collegeconfidential gets written up in the newspaper for crazy:

ETA: this one's funnier though:

CC is rising in the NYT ranks. An actual article (not just a blog) mentioned CC and quoted a member there: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/23/education/23college.html

Some of the posters on CC are just crazy (No, your life isn't going to be ruined because you got an A instead of an A+ in an AP class). The blatant marginalization of minorities and people with low test scores starts to get tiresome.

I was using that article to make fun of my mother yesterday :p: She was herded into a "dinner" at my brother's move in day last week to forcibly separate the parents and apparently had been playing much too large a role at decorating his half of the dorm room.

TSR might be bad, but College Confidential is off the effing scale.

All I could do was shake my head in amazement the few times I visited. No thank you, my good man :no:

Perhaps because CC isn't just a website for students. I find the parents more informative than many of the students there.
I'd like to try CC.
Does collegeconfidential have trolls?

Just went to that site for the first time, and the first user/post I see is a TSR person:

That is insane.
I would love to see a parents sub-forum on here.

The trolling would be quite exquisite :moon:
