 invaluable college selection resource January 4, 2009
I found this book to be an invaluable resource. It helps to streamline the college selection process by organizing important college data several different ways: first by state and then by college type (4 year, 2-year, private, public). Additionally, it delves into vital statistics about each college such as: number of students, the split between male and female, the percent of applicants admitted, tuition and fees, the application procedures and other college specific data.
The book also offers additional information such as life on campus, housing, packing advice, and a comprehensive glossary of terms that might be foreign to a new college student.
I highly recommend this book for those exploring which college to attend.

Great Book for Helping with the College Search December 22, 2008
I don't typically write reviews, but I felt it necessary in this case. There is an index in the back of the book that lists every college, in the book, in alphabetical order. I have no complaints, I've used the book extensively at my bookstore and I've come here with the intent of buying it. Don't feel like wasting the gas anymore, hehe.
 Good if you like the format November 2, 2008

I am doing college counseling this year for the first time. I'm working with this college guide and the Princeton Review guide. The difficult thing to get used to in this guide is that it is arranged by state. That's not necessarily bad, but cumbersome if you're looking up a school and aren't sure where it is located. That one issue keeps my hand reaching for the Princeton Review guide. This guide does have a very good section devoted solely to 2-year schools, which I will find quite useful.
