 Better Than Average September 21, 2007
I have used this book more than the US News and World report. I give this book more value than the other one. I like the student reviews.
 Great Reference Book September 11, 2007
My daughter and I referred to this book hundreds of times when starting her college search - I believe information is current and accurate.

Essential July 17, 2007
This, along with Fiske's Guide to Colleges, are essential to the college search process. The hard data includes all the deadlines, a quality of life rating, demographic makeup, and lots of facts about admissions and financial aid. Very useful are the "comparable colleges" section which begins with the banner "Applicants Also Look At" and the "Survey Says" section.
Great way to start July 13, 2007
This book is a great way to start the college search. My kids liked it since the basic facts for each college appear on two pages, quick and easy stats to review.
 Huge disappointment compared to the 2005 edition ! July 11, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I saw the 2005 edition of this guide at one of the colleges we visited and really liked it. So I bought it. However the new 2007 edition is so much tamer and more politically correct than the earlier one that it is much more boring and much less helpful than the 2005 version. The student comments have been totally watered down and the star ratings are gone.
Bottom line: you're much better off getting your hands on a used copy of the 2005 edition (which is called The best 357 Colleges).
