Another reason to love Wikipedia

Sure, you can't necessarily believe EVERYTHING you read on Wikipedia.  But everyone’s favorite research tool can also be used in the college search.  Wikipedia has great college write-ups that include information on everything from the make-up of the student body to dorm life descriptions and listings of notable alumni.  And really, who wouldn't want to know that Ben Affleck, Luke Wilson, and President Obama all went to Occidental College (although none of them went on to graduate from Oxy.)
