2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I was looking for, July 2, 2009

This review is from: California Colleges (College Prowler) (College Prowler: California Colleges) (Paperback)

First of all, I did not notice this is a 2006 book so its a bit outdated. Then when I started looking through it, I noticed it only has 24 colleges in it. I thought it would at least have all the CSU schools but it only has 2 of them. That is where this book is terrible. If I knew I was only gonna get 24 schools, I would have just went with the Fiske Guide to Colleges.

The only thing that is good about this book, it does go into some detail to those select 24 schools. Other than that, the book isn't worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars (not actually a kid), June 12, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: California Colleges (College Prowler) (College Prowler: California Colleges) (Paperback)

I have bought a lot of different books to help me to choose the right college for me. This book is so helpful, it has one of the main things I was looking for in a college guide: the most popular majors (which can tell you if the college specializes in the field you want to go into). It's very clear and tells you about almost everything you want to know from restaurants in the area to parking to housing to drug problems.

1.0 out of 5 stars College Prowler a Bust, November 25, 2008

Trudy Sanders - See all my reviews

This review is from: California Colleges (College Prowler) (College Prowler: California Colleges) (Paperback)

Hated it, returned it almost immediately.

Not helpful whatsoever. We found it to be beyond useless when looking for info about colleges, frankly.
