The Insider's Guide to the Colleges, 2006: Students on Campus Tell You What You Really Want to Know, 32nd Edition Overviews
For more than thirty years, The Insider's Guide to the Colleges has been the favorite resource of high school seniors across the country, because it is the only comprehensive college reference written and researched by students for students. In interviews with hundreds of peers on campuses all over the country, our writers have gotten the inside scoop on every school--on topics from professors and campus life to dorms and student activities. Each school profile in The Insider's Guide cuts through the veneer of brochures and common stereotypes to reveal the college as it's seen through the eyes of its students. This comprehensive guide includes:
-Revealing profiles of 320 top schools in the United States and Canada
-Essential statistics for every school, from acceptance rate to the most popular majors
-A "College Finder" that helps students find the schools that are right for them
-"FYI" sections with candid student opinions and outrageous advice
The Insider's Guide to the Colleges, 2006: Students on Campus Tell You What You Really Want to Know, 32nd Edition CustomerReview
This can be a useful volume for those who do not wish wide coverage of colleges and universities throughout the United States. A lot of good schools are missing, though. For instance, I went to Bradley University as an undergraduate, and it does not show up in the listing of Illinois schools, even though it has a pretty good reputation for quality. The number of Illinois' colleges represented is a pretty small slice of decent schools available there.
Just so, Pennsylvania. Many good schools are simply not covered. The introduction that explains how colleges are selected is rather vague--and not very convincing.
All of that said, the discussion of those colleges covered isn't bad. There is enough discussion and information to begin to distinguish one school from another. Thus, this is a useful resource, but it is compromised by spotty coverage of some fine institutions in the United States.
