No cc... :-/

Even with 60k+ students, Northern Virginia CC isn't listed.

Hi Erin,

Here are some suggestions:
(1) Sort the school names alphabetically! They appear to be kind of sorted but not very well at all. It took me about 2 minutes to find Cornell on the NY list, and then another 1 minute to find RIT.
(2) It would be nice to be able to see the entire list at once, like BuzzU allowed you to do. (of course, if a school has no people, don't display on master list).
(3) Name and email and graduation year is boring. I like to see more information, such as what team each person was on in high school, nickname, profile. Basically if you click on the name you get more information.
(4) The links (red on blue) on the main page clash a bit. I'd suggest orange (or any other lighter hue) on blue
(5) This needs to be advertised very well for it to work at all. You should have FIRST send the link out in an email blast, if possible.

Otherwise, great job! Finally there is some way to get in contact with other FIRSTers at colleges.

Thank you all for your input, in a few weeks when all the debugging is done we'll definately make this a well advertised site.

Keep the ideas coming!

(the users are the best at coming up with the problems, thanks for your help)

That's huge!

I've added around 1100 Community Colleges to the database.

Good luck finding some FIRST comrades if you're looking to start a team. (shouldn't be too hard with that many folks :) )

edit: Also fixed the bogus ordering problem, and now allows viewing colleges by state.

I am depressed, yet ellated in some strange way, to be the first person to register in Delaware.

I'm second so how should I feel? At least I'm not alone. :)

Andy, I noticed a minor error while viewing the list. After using the back or forward buttons, The "State" pull down box remembers your selection but the "College" pull down box assumes you are in Arkansas. I don't know if you can fix that in php (I don't use php).

Great job on the website Andy! It is almost as good as AvonGrove.com.:D

Hey now!

Are technical schools that don't begin w/ the state's name involved?!

I'm in IL and am currently attending Universal Technical Institute (UTI). It's in Glendale Heights, IL. (I'm in the city Carol Stream.)

If ya' get that up - I'll Register! :D BTW - my grad date was 2003

i'm the only Rutgers girl (or person for that matter) registered

and the sad part is, i know other FIRSTers here that should be registered

(ah the losers!)

Kinda disappointing to see I'm the only registered FIRST'er at Syracuse University....and I know for a fact there're at least one or two more...

Just realized that I put the wrong Grad date, I though it was when you would graduate from college, not high school. I graduated from High School in 2003 not 2007

Hi folks, I've made a couple changes:

*Added UTI in IL
*Added a modification page, linked from the front page.
*Added an optional profile field.
*Fixed a bug with seeing no registrations from your college after you've submitted your registration.
*Added some stats to the front page.

Let me know if anything else needs work. :)

Re: FIRST College Connect is now UP!!!!
 

Just a reminder that FIRST College Connect is still running and to register yourself in order to keep our database current.


Thanks!

Re: FIRST College Connect is now UP!!!!
 

Perhaps a place to put the team number(s) of the college. Also a main contact person for that college would be nice too.

Re: FIRST College Connect is now UP!!!!
 

It appears that the website for FIRST College Connect is now dead. Are there any plans to revive it?

Re: FIRST College Connect is now UP!!!!
 

Not to my knowledge. I'm not sure if NU-TRONS want to continue to own it (any responses?). But I still think its a good utility if somebody wants to take ownership over it and build up a new site.

I haven't done anything with FCC since it started, so please consider my involvement as complete (and I'm not at NU anymore).
