Guide Review - Fiske Guide to Colleges
Written by renowned education expert Edward B. Fiske, the Fiske Guide to Colleges provides detailed information and ratings for more than 310 colleges and universities. This guide, which is fully updated and expanded each year, has been used as a source book by college bound students and their parents for more than 25 years.
Instead of covering every four-year college in the nation, the Fiske Guide to Colleges focuses on the best and most interesting schools in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Each school entry includes information about academics, campus setting, housing, food, student body, social life, financial aid, and extracurricular activities as well as selectivity statistics and insider tips from students.
Other bonus features in the Fiske Guide to Colleges include lists of schools with strong programs in business, indexes that break schools down by state and price, and a self quiz to help students choose a school. I would recommend this guide to any prospective student who is researching colleges and universities.
