 Rating:  - Best College Search Book I FoundI first saw this book at the library after reviewing many of the big names in College Guide books. The comments are helpful and gives you a real flavor for the work load and the student body. In addition, the format presented makes it eay to compare schools quickly. I decided to get my own copy because I have an 11th grader and a 10th grader. The book has helped them focus in on what they each want out of their college experience, and to start planning on which schools to visit. When there are ... Read More Rating: - Fantastic!I am a rising high school senior, and this book has been absolutely imperative for me in picking out colleges that interest me. First, there are the funny, irreverent, but nevertheless informative lists, such as "Clove-smoking, Birkenstock-wearing, tree-hugging vegetarians" and "dodgeball targets" and (everyone's favorite) "party schools". These, though, will just whet your appetite for the main course: two page analyses of Academics, Life (what students do outside of classes), and Student Body. I have ... Read More Rating:  - missing some very crucial informationThis book has good info on SAT scores and GPA's and college costs. It gives insight into the admissions philosophies of the colleges. It gives very heavy emphasis to students' views of the feel and social/party aspects of the schools, and many schools end up sounding alike - I would say over half of them in this book feature comments like 'hard liquor is popular on campus', 'social life is dominated by frats', etc. That is certainly good info to have. The major shortcoming of this book, ... Read More Rating:  - useless bookIt is shipped fast and good condition, but the book is useless. The descriptions for colleges are all good words instead of real words, it seems that all the colleges are same. The admission requirements are not accurate, you can not reley on them. I don't know which year's tuition and fees they are following, datas seem too old. Anyway I can not find any inside features of colleges and can not trust the datas. Rating: - One of the most useful guidesMy daughter and I have found this and the Fiske Guide to Colleges 2010, 26E the two most useful books to help her narrow down her choices. We started off on the [..] website (also useful--and free) to find colleges that offered her major. We used some of the statistics on that site to further narrow it down. More than half of the colleges left were in this or Fiske (there is a lot of overlap--not many in one book but not the other, at least for the colleges on her list). This book gave much more "real life" ... Read More
