Everything you need to know,
This review is from: University of Texas: Off the Record (College Prowler) (College Prowler Off the Record) (Paperback)
My child is in high school and is currently looking at colleges. The College Prowler Guide for The University of Texas is the best thing we have found. It gives information about every facet of college life in detail, including questions to ask as we check out schools in general. Written from a student's perspective, it is a true representation of what you can expect as a new college student. I wish I'd had this sort of information when I was trying to choose a college for myself. I am recommending this to our high school counselor and to all of my friends whose kids are in high school.

This review is from: University of Texas: Off the Record (College Prowler) (College Prowler Off the Record) (Paperback)
After reading this book I have such a good perspective on the University of Texas. It really helped me decide what kind of school I'd like to go to, because it's entirely written by a student with other student perspectives (in the form of quotes) throughout. I don't know of any other guidebook that's like College Prowler and everyone even considering U of T should get this book! Even if you're already enrolled, it has a great restaurant guide and talks about campus and off campus housing.

Perfect for incoming freshmen, current students, or UT fans,
By Erin Hall (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: University of Texas: Off the Record (College Prowler) (College Prowler Off the Record) (Paperback)
This is the perfect college guide for anyone thinking of attending the University of Texas, already attending the University of Texas or just interested in the University of Texas. It is written by a college student for college students, so while it has the boring statistics such as how many students go to school there and average SAT scores it also contains the important stuff. By important I mean, where to live, where to go, what do do for fun in Austin, Greek life, real opinions about majors, teachers and classes from real students, even how hot the guys and girls are on the campus. It is the fun college guide and you should definitely not leave home without it. If you are a future Longhorn you will be so much better prepared for coming to school by reading this book-your new friends and roommates will be so impressed. If you are already a student, trust me there are things you will learn that you would have never known. And, the book is an entertaining and fun read with a lot of humor thrown in. I highly recommend it to anyone: parents, counselors, Texas Exes, and especially incoming and current students or anyone undecided about where they want to go to college. This book will surely help you with your decision.
