Convenient and full of facts,

This review is from: The College Board College Handbook 2008 (Paperback)
This book is essentially a printed version of the detailed information about colleges that's available on the College Board website. Although you can get the same information for free on the website, it's convenient having it in printed and bound form like this, and you can take it with you when you are traveling to visit schools. What this book does not provide is the "inside dope" you get from the Princeton Review or Fisk college guides, which offer subjective information about the feel of the school, the campus culture, how hard the students work, whether it's a party school, and lots of other information that the mere statistics about SAT scores and enrollment can't provide. Still, this is a useful book, and very convenient and well organized.
