Editorial Reviews

Review

"a wealth of information on each college, more of it and more up-to-date than you'll find in any other college guidebook. It doesn't get any better than this book."
-The Chattanooga Times, Steve Bartlett, the McCallie School

"The College Board has a winner here--covers all bases (and questions) likely to be asked by college-bound students and their parents."
-Library Journal

About the Author

The College Board has played a significant role in American education since 1900. Its members include virtually all colleges in the country and a growing number of high schools. Their faculties and administrators serve as advisers and supporters of College Board activities, giving the organization a level of authoritativeness that no other publisher can match.
The College Board is the leader in the field of college information and test preparation publications. The College Board College Handbook has been published since 1941 and is widely recognized for its accuracy and comprehensiveness; as the sponsor of the SATs, the Board also publishes the most authoritative and respected book on preparing for the SAT--10 Real SATs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Content, October 3, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The College Board College Handbook 2001: All-New Thirty-Eighth Annual Edition (College Handbook, 38th ed, 2001) (Paperback)
This handbook is wonderful for a student that is looking for a guide that contains plentiful information about a large number of colleges. However, it may contain more than you need - if you already have a few colleges in mind. Still, it's a great guide to colleges and is second only to actually visiting colleges themselves.

1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely unhelpful, February 10, 2001
By 
This review is from: The College Board College Handbook 2001: All-New Thirty-Eighth Annual Edition (College Handbook, 38th ed, 2001) (Paperback)
This book contains even less information than I could get online (with a site like usnews.com). It has, on average, one quarter of a page per college (a half a page for popular ones) and contains only factual information. For example, you might be able to determine when a college was built, what percentage of males it has, how many freshman it has, and a list of majors. But nothing more - there is no opinion (no rating system like Fiske) and no commentary on the college itself.

A useless waste of money - go with the Fiske guide or stick to Internet-based information sites; they have a ton more information than this remiss handbook.
