Some Unusual College Sites

  • 13 December 2007

Some of these links have been mentioned before, but I figured it would be worth making a little list here of intriguing approaches to college websites:

  • Oxford - just text lists (unless you click on a header)
  • Brown - unique rows style
  • Duke - simple to the Nth degree: just a search box with a few extras
  • MIT - rotating designs from student submissions
  • B.U. - sleek Flash with multiple columns, over and below

That is enough to get our minds working for now :-)

Two more things that have caught my eye of late:
Check out the expanding background at http://www.vt.edu/
And the top A-Z index at http://www.humboldt.edu/

I dig Brown and BU’s site, but Oxford’s plain-text kills my eyes. I appreciate some guidance to “hot topics” when I go to a college’s website.
