A good site for those that live in the right area, but not for those that don't

Mountaineer Singles is a dating site that focuses on the students, staff and alumni of West Virginia University. While almost all of the members are in some way affiliated with the school and live near it, you don't have to in order to use the site. But if you don't live in the area of the school you will probably not find the site of much use.

Signing up for the site is very quick and easy. The member profiles in this site can be very detailed, but they let you skip most of those details when you sign up and let you fill them in later. Once you have signed up and get inside you will find a very easy to use member's area and a couple of nice search options. The basic search allows you to search for people based on age range and distance from you. If you do take the time to fill in all the details on your profile you can put them to use with the Super Match option. This search option takes the details from your profile and uses them to find you the best possible matches on the site. You can search the site and look at people's profiles for free, but if you want to contact someone directly you will have to get a paid membership.

As nice as the search options are, they are the only real features on this site. There are no chat rooms or instant message options. No forums or blogs of any kind either. Many dating sites are now offering these features to their members so I was a little let down to not see them here.

All of this said there are a decent number of members in this site. Since 95% of them are concentrated in one area it does mean that for most people the site will not be of much use, but for those in the area of the school there are plenty of people to contact and hook up with. I scored the site low because most of us won't be in the right area to fully take advantage of it and because of its lack of extra features. For those that do live in the right area, give this one a look because it will probably work well for you.
