This review is from: The Best Northeastern Colleges, 2007 Edition (College Admissions Guides) (Paperback)

I liked this guide because it focused on particular regions of the country -the Northeast, and because it surveyed students on campus life. There are particular colleges that I am looking at for one of my former students and this guide is a good way for me to know more about them and for him to read also. We are in the Rochester, NY area so we focused on that area. I found out that SUNY Geneseo, my former alma mater, is still heavily focused on alcohol as it was when I went to school. A very disappointing factor for me. I was a non-drinker and life could be hell around drinkers, that is something I need to tell my student, a non-drinker. Brockport has some advantages but Nazareth College is looking more and more attractive. I liked the high interest ratings the professors got and the 95% rating of campus life, without being a drinking college. I can't wait to share this guide with my former student so he can get more information on colleges.
