College Outlook is the newest and fastest way to locate nearly any university or college in the United States. A simple yet intuitive interface allows any user to locate a school they are interested in. College Outlook provides a Google map with the geographical location, a Google camera view of the campus, and the opportunity to sign up for brochure information to be sent directly to you via mail. Another feature that may be of some help to those still not sure on the college of their choice is the recommended school listing that shows about 20 other locations that may be of interest. The only problem with the recommendations is there seems to be no rhyme or reason to how those schools are chosen. College Outlook is quite useful and will help early on in a college search. For someone nearing their decision on a college this may not be the place to look as details on universities are not found here. The map is great as all other schools near yours as well as cities are shown on the standard Google map. All in all this is a useful mash-up that provides simple information and a way to get more, but still has room for improvement and could be made a great resource for college searches with a little more work put into it.

I agree it would be most helpful early on in the college search, rather than later when a student needs to find very specific information.
