4.0 out of 5 stars
Keeping Pace with the Process,
By Andrew Bryan (Boise ID) - See all my reviews
This review is from: College Selection Workbook: Self-Paced Exercises to Help You Choose the Right College, Third Edition, 1994-1995 (Paperback)
Barry Beckham has kept pace with the rapidly changing process of choosing a college. For those students and parents who are motivated to "go it alone" Beckham's workbook provides them with nearly all the pieces of the puzzle. For students who need a little more guidence from the school or private counselor, the workbook serves as a great tool and resource. It's simplicity makes it accessible to the college bound student. Many schools could save time and effort handing out The College Selection Workbook, as opposed to reinventing the contents. The only down side is more students do not have access to Barry Beckham himself!

5.0 out of 5 stars
This book will definitely help students,
By Susan Whalley (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: College Selection Workbook: Self-Paced Exercises to Help You Choose the Right College, Third Edition, 1994-1995 (Paperback)
As a high school guidance counselor, this book will be an extremely helpful tool for my students and their parents. They need a system to do the college search work that will help them calm down and see the step-by-step approach to the perceived chaos of the process. The incremental steps to aid students that this book offers is exactly what they need.
1.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing,
By Sarah Giffen-hunter "sgiffen-hunter" (West Branch, IA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The College Selection Workbook (Paperback)
Maybe I was hoping for too much, but I found this thin book to be dated and not very useful. Some nice forms, but not anything you can't find elsewhere, such as online for free.
