Glenn Pere, the creator of LVUTV.com said, “I saw the need for parents and teens to gather information about where to attend college. When I witnessed the labor intensive exercise of writing or calling every college for information as well as the expense of visiting them, I realized there had to be a better way. Clearly the internet affords people a quick solution for research. But there is no other web site that provides the experiential element of students talking on or around campus.” In conclusion, Pere said, “There is no better way to find out about colleges than by talking to thousands of students attending them.”
