the WB meets Princeton Review

This is really only marginally entertainment related, but I clicked on a link today and ended up at this website: http://www.theu.com/site/. It's a site advertising a guide to colleges on DVD and there are preview clips of each of the 50 schools that it covers. The funny part is that it's hosted by stars of the WB like Gregory Smith (Everwood), James Lafferty (One Tree Hill), and Jared Padalecki (Supernatural). Cornell's segment was introduced by Kristin Kreuk from Smallville, and I have to say that it was really bizarre hearing Lana Lang talking about how Cornell is famous for "getting some...from your textbooks." Of course during the talk about hard work they showed one girl in a bikini top studying outside on the grass, which cracked me up because what they should really be showing is Phillips 319. And all of the exterior shots in the preview were during the summer which really isn't a good representation of Ithaca in general.

Anyway, to hear your favorite WB star say a few sentences about a school they probably never considered and a process that they likely never went through, check out the website. I'll admit that I watched more than a few of the intros to see which celebrities gave into this bizarre idea...
