4.0 out of 5 stars
Valuable resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fiske Guide to Colleges 1998: The Highest-Rated Guide to the Best and Most Interesting Colleges in America (Paperback)
A valuable resource, particularly when used in conjunction with the Princeton Review and Yale books. Evaluative material like this always requires healthy skepticism - that goes double for anonymous book critiques!

Fiske Guide Useful for College Hunting,
By mbilling@wharton.upenn.edu (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fiske Guide to Colleges 1998: The Highest-Rated Guide to the Best and Most Interesting Colleges in America (Paperback)
While the Fiske Guide may be biased on some regards it is overall an excellent resource for students looking into colleg. It represents the top schools in the country and presents very viable information. Furthermore, I was admitted and visited Duke, Stanford, UPenn, Tufts, Georgetown, Yale, Brown. Each essay accurately reflected the feel or aura of the school.

This book is REAL READING!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fiske Guide to Colleges 1998: The Highest-Rated Guide to the Best and Most Interesting Colleges in America (Paperback)
The college advising at my high school was notoriously weak; thus, my parents hired a private counseling consultant to help me during the college admissions process. She introduced me to the Fiske Guide. I IMMEDIATELY LOVED IT! Unlike most other books, which supply the same old information in the same conventional way (admissions:..., campus life:...), this book paints a great picture of what the college is really like. It does not bombard you with a barrage of statistics, but does provide an adequate amount, accompanied by brilliantly written text. Of course, I may not have agreed with everything Fiske said about my school, but I think he made some thoughtful comments about what to expect. So, though I don't wholeheartedly agree with Fiske's reviews, I concede that no book about colleges can top it--not Barron's, not the College Board, not the Princeton Review, NOTHING. Kudos to Fiske for this outstanding guide!
