Bloody fantastic. It's basically just a calendar of university open days with a bit of advice around it, but it's a unique and valuable service.
Real Uni

Still under development, but the idea is that universities and students are able to upload information about individual places to study. It's a decent idea, but if the universities bother at all, their information is only likely to be what you'll find on their own websites. Meanwhile student verdicts may be more interesting, but you should bear in mind that the ones who choose to contribute may not have typical opinions (indeed, they may have an axe to grind) and they may not have experience of other universities to much to compare theirs to. Anyway, they've got other advice too. Worth a look.

Quite detailed independent information about student life and individual universities. We were quite impressed – and from Push, the ultimate research junkies, that's saying something.
