It does have tons of information, but a newbee to the college search process, may find the book overwhelming and confusing.
 wow,this book is insightful. January 13, 2008
this book gives you pretty good info on most of America's good colleges(some are not on there because they "weren't good enough") the infos are pretty good, since they obtain most of them through interviews with each college's students. One thing i don't get though,on page 537,for Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the Quality of Life rating was "HHH" instead of stars...wonder if it is a typo.
Good but wish it had more listings December 27, 2007
We have two high school seniors who are trying to narrow down their college list. This book had good information for the colleges we were interested in, but many of the schools on my kids' list were not included. It would be great to have more listings - you might want to check the index to see if the colleges you want to know about are in the book.
plenty of information to begin your college search December 7, 2007
Fiske strikes a good balance between factual information and opinion, making it a good choice for first time guide buyers. The format is readable and appealing. We especially like the ratings of each college, re; quality of life, cost, etc. While guides to colleges can't substitute for a campus visit, Fiske, much like a travel brochure, helps to determine which colleges might warrant a closer look.
Lighthouse Guide December 3, 2007
Sheds light on many noteworthy Colleges. Wish it contained all of the US colleges.
A good start to your college search.
Fiske is a trustworthy source.
