I bought this one to avoid subjective views that are often biased. It is, however, dry and unfocused. There are self promotions by the colleges at the back and clearly labeled as such.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not "Complete" but still useful, May 26, 2010

As college guides go, this one is probably the best. It offers descriptions of a wide range of schools, from community colleges to Ivy League. In almost all cases, there's useful information about size, demographics, admissions requirements and lots more, as well as web addresses for further research. Some school descriptions are missing key information, and might have been better off being replaced by others for whom more data was available. A good first step in the process of deciding where to apply.
