great concept but....

sorry to be the naysayer (is that a word?) but a sticky probably isn't the best option - experience shows 2 likely outcomes:

1. post does nothing but gush about the school concerned (I can't work it out - are so many people really convinced that the service they got was perfect?). The two earlier posts back this concept up (not specially targeting the posters concerned - it's a forum wide issue). The same concept applies to people who suggest asking schools for references - what answer do you think you're going to get!

or

2. post does nothing but act as a vent for some imagined or real slight recieved and revenge is percieved as being obtained by slating that organisation. This then often involves the entire thread developing into a slanging match (see many many BGS threads!).

Of course the key point is, if you did your course at school A, how can you compare them to school B which you didn't attend and may offer a better product which you'll never know about!

Maybe a volunteer could moderate such a thread (moderating before posts are shown) to ensure that postings are real and valid? Or would that be too hard? Methinks it might be!
