CampusTours Releases CollegeViewbooks.com
Auburn, ME (June 1, 2002) CampusTours announced today the release of a new resource for college bound students - CollegeViewbooks.com (http://www.CollegeViewbooks.com). CollegeViewbooks.com is the only online utility that allows prospective college students to request university viewbooks and applications from up to twenty (20) colleges simultaneously. Choosing from more than 1,200 U.S. undergraduate institutions, visitors to CollegeViewbooks.com have the opportunity to immediately request printed information from as many as twenty (20) colleges.
Previously college bound students were forced to telephone each institution separately to request that admissions materials be mailed to the student's home. Using the free CollegeViewbooks utility, college applicants need only complete one simple form and wait by the mailbox for admissions materials to arrive. Guidance counselors are already praising the CollegeViewbooks service as a tremendous resource for high school sophomores and juniors beginning their college searches.
"Obtaining official college information used to be a laborious enterprise for students and parents" testifies Maya Golden, a guidance counselor from a western Pennsylvania high school. "The CollegeViewbooks.com utility is a great resource for our students, and we have now linked the service to our Web site to facilitate student usage."
As students increasingly turn to the Internet for college admissions information, CampusTours LLC provides a wide range of admissions, virtual tour and student recruitment services in coordination with participating institutions. Prospective college students value CampusTours services because they are completely free of charge, and put them directly in touch with individual colleges and universities. Colleges benefit from the increased traffic to the school's virtual tour and other areas of the college Web site, as well as the targeted student leads and automatic alerts generated by the CollegeViewbooks information request utility. Instead of driving student traffic away from the college Web site to proprietary services, CampusTours works with institutions to drive traffic to the college Web site, and all CampusTours services seek to facilitate increased contact between colleges and prospective students.
