I'm going to be a senior this year, which mean's im on my search for college. This book is great for the in depth details but probably isnt the best... I like the princeton review alot better. This thing gives you the basic facts, but the Princeton gives you the student's opinions on the college. But anyhow, this is a great guide that just about every major college you could think of for a reference. I also like the "competitive" rankings that it has- to see how hard the school actually is. But i think this book needs to be on a more personal level than just spitting out the facts you could find on any online site.

This book is excellent for the college student or teacher seeking to obtain statistical data about colleges and universities. Detailed information about the college, town, student profiles, enrollment, degree programs, standardized test scores and teacher backgrounds are provided. In NYS alone,
teaching colleges have the following percentages of PhDs:
o State University at Alfred 8%
o School of the Visual Arts 36%
o Friends World Program 70%
o Berkeley College 33%
o Boricua College - Min

o 5 Towns 42%
o College of Aeronautics 10%
o Dominica College 46%
o D ' Youville College 60%
o Hartwick and Hilbert-min
o Mannes College-Min
o Marymount Manhattan- Min
o Keoka, Excelsior and Molloy-Min
o Webb Institute

The book is a solid value for any student seeking quality
information about a plethora of collegiate programs
