This book has everything I've needed so far, although the college search has just begun. It gives a lot of information that I wouldn't have expected. I know we could look at one in the library, but it is great to have it as a reference at home whenever I think of a school and/or quandry.

We used this book to help my daughter pick the colleges she would apply to. The book is a wealth of information about every 2 and 4 year college in the United States. At a glance you can find out the cost, academic offerings, SAT scores, clubs and organizations and ethnic makeup just to name a few. I highly recommend it to anyone applying to college.
