Guide Review - College Navigator
The Princeton Review is well known for the comprehensive college guides they publish on a yearly basis, but their latest venture—-College Navigator-—is somewhat of a surprise.The book is just as good, but it is a little different. To start, the guide is very small (only 5 1/2 by 6 inches), and yet, it includes a record number of college lists—-282 to be exact. The lists cover just about any criteria imaginable. Some examples include:
- Schools with the smallest campuses
- Schools with outstanding honors programs
- Schools whose cities have tough job markets
- Schools that don't give grades
- Schools with the highest acceptance rates
- Schools that serve sushi in the dining hall
College Navigator may not be the only college guide you want to read when you begin your college search, but it is a fun and functional book that is well worth the money.
