5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource for College Bound High School Students, August 20, 2000

This review is from: The Insider's Guide to the Colleges: 2001 (Paperback)

Upon first glance, this book appeared to be just like any of the twenty other college guide books I saw in the bookstore. However, the insightful opinions of actual students attending the colleges make this publication an invaluable read. It helped me immensely in finding the school that most appropriately fit my needs. The articles on SUNY Buffalo and SUNY Stony Brook deserve particular attention for their informative nature. Seek no other resource, this one has it all!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best college guide out there!, May 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Insider's Guide to the Colleges: 2001 (Paperback)

Written by students, this book distinguishes itself from other college guides in that you really get a good feel for the school, its social atmosphere, and its academics. Topics covered are eating and sleeping facilities, social life, alcohol, accessibility and friendliness of professors, the level of competition between students, extracurriculars, and much, much more! I'd recommend this book to anyone looking at colleges!

4.0 out of 5 stars More than just numbers, February 28, 2001

This review is from: The Insider's Guide to the Colleges: 2001 (Paperback)

I like this book a lot because it tells me information I want to know that I haven't been able to find anywhere else such as whether or not the student body is mostly liberal or conservative or whether or not alchol makes the scene at certain colleges. It gives the students' perspectives. You can find the student faculty ratio and freshmen retention rate anywhere. This is the book to read if you want to know more than just the statistics.
