Pikimal Creates Universities Piki to Help Students and Parents

2011-04-20

PITTSBURGH, PA, April 20, 2011 (Press-News.org) Choosing the right college or university is one of the most important decisions in a person's life. Of course, it's also one of the most difficult. With over 4,000 choices in the United States, it's no wonder that the search is often overwhelming. In addition, what's important to one student may be completely different from what's important to the next (and probably will be).

Pikimal, an online decision engine, created their university Piki (think of it like a Wiki for picking) that allows anyone searching to easily find a university that fits their lifestyle, such as "best university for engineering" or "best university for small student body." If there's no template that matches your needs, you can adjust the importance of each element that makes up a university. Adjust importance settings for academics, Greek-life, political activism, dining and housing options, athletics, weather, library facilities and even campus beauty (among many more). The Piki will automatically generate a list of schools that match your criteria. Instead of spending weeks online looking through the same, standard information on college ranking websites, now a user can find the perfect school for them in one simple process.

In honor of the new university Piki, Pikimal is celebrating University Week through April 22nd. The company hopes to create awareness of the tool so that students, parents and educators may benefit from the unique compilation of university information.

Pikimal was created to help users make the difficult choices in their lives. People want to make informed decisions, but the effort of educating oneself on all topics is overwhelming. That's where Pikis come in. Thanks to Pikimal, you don't need to be a breeder to know the right dog for your family or a ski expert to know the perfect resort for your weekend getaway. Finding the best products for your lifestyle or the solution to difficult online choices has become painless thanks to the power of Pikimal.

Pikimal is Pittsburgh-based and founded in February 2010. We plan to separate great products from great marketing and make decision-making simple and collaborative. We allow users to pick nearly anything and determine what about that product or topic matters specifically to them.
