Guide Review - The Best 368 Colleges
The 2009 edition of The Princeton Review's The Best 368 Colleges is my favorite college guide book.More than 120,000 students contributed to the two-page profiles of the 368 colleges featured in the guide. Each profile includes information about the schools' academics, strengths, weaknesses, student population, tuition, and admissions deadlines.
In addition to detailed profiles, there are also 62 college ranking lists--each compiled using original student surveys. The one-of-a-kind college ranking lists cover every category imaginable, including:
- Toughest to Get Into
- Best Career Placement Services
- Worst Financial Aid Packages
- Most Politically Active Students
- Best Campus Food
- Biggest Party Schools
- Best Quality of Life
- Schools with Reefer Madness
