NEW YORK, April 8, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Teens and their parents face the overwhelming and time consuming task of gathering all the information necessary to make a decision about which colleges they should apply to and ultimately attend.

Getting into college is getting more competitive every year. LVUTV.com can help provide the vital information to make informed decisions about which college(s) is the right one.

With nearly 200 hundred of the most applied-to colleges and universities listed and growing, LVUTV.com is like no other resource for both students and parents researching their prospects. 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, 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." Compiling the data as well as shooting the videos is labor intensive work. But for Pere, it was the answer to how to find all the information on the web. In conclusion, Pere said, "There is no better way to find out about colleges than by talking to thousands of students attending them, and no easier way to do that than logging onto LVUTV.com."

LVUTV.com was created by advertising/marketing expert Glenn Pere, CEO of The Pere Partnership, an entertainment advertising agency.

                   Glenn Pere is available for interviews.
