Phelan (St. Louis, MO USA) - I am embarking on the college search with my second son. Ive already done this once and feel fairly seasoned and maybe just a bit cynical about the proocess. I'm very familiar with college giudes and when I bought this book yesterday, along with a couple of other "guides", I wasn't expecting to see anything new. Fortunately, I was wrong. It is so refreshing to read such an organized, thoughtful, honest, and unique perspective! These guys have truly come up with something of value for students and parents. The market is flooded with over opinionated and under researched college guides; this one does not fall into either category. The "I Wish I Knew When..." section at the beginning alone is worth the price of the book. I haven't seen that much solid, valuable college advice in one place, ever.
Book Description
College guides are a must for any teenager trying to choose the right school. Unfortunately, most guidebooks are vague, boring tomes written by administrators and journalists, instead of the real experts–the college students that actually go there. Students’ Guide to Colleges is different. Entirely student-written and edited, this invaluable resource cuts through the cant with comprehensive listings of the vital statistics and requirements for America’s top 100 schools accompanied by three totally honest, fresh, fun-to-read descriptions penned by attending undergrads from different walks of life. Want to know how big classes really are? How rigorous the academics get? Or how greek or granola, chill or up-tight, homogenous or diverse, gay or straight, a campus really is? Lively, irreverent, and insightful, the Students’ Guide to Colleges is the only guidebook that offers multiple perspectives on each school and tells it like it is so that college applicants can make the best choice when deciding where they want to spend their college years.
