I hope this security list is well read.  A google search for "going2college.org site:.edu" has lots of hits of higher 
ed pages recommending this service.

FYI,

The site going2college.org IS AN ACTIVE ATTACK SITE. DO NOT GO HERE. Users have been trying to go to going2college.com 
but using .org instead.  (.com vs. .org)  The .com site is OK the .org site IS AN ACTIVE ATTACK SITE, DO NOT GO THERE.
