Contrary to popular belief, Wikipedia is actually quite accurate and offers plenty of information about any topic. It saved my life when I was in secondary school, and I hope it will continue to do so through college.
The layout is clean and simple, and it works for the massive amount of information that some articles have. I recommend it to anyone.

My dad and I use TripAdvisor before going to any hotel, restaurant, etc. It has yet to let us down. Before using TripAdvisor, my dad and I went to a horrible hotel that advertised itself as a 4-star. Now, thanks to TripAdvisor, I've been to 2-star hotels that feel as good as the usual 4-star ones.
