Book Description

0375762086 978-0375762086 September 18, 2001 6th
Features complete profiles of the nation's 249 most-toured schools.

It’s easy these days to find out about college campuses on the Internet, but nothing beats hitting the road and seeing a campus with one's own eyes: sizing up the dorms, eating a meal in the cafeteria, sitting in on a class, checking out the neighborhood, and getting a true-to-life preview of the next four years.

This new edition of Visiting College Campuses is the one-stop source for plotting a college journey, whether it’s by plane, train, or automobile. The Princeton Review's profiles of the 249 most-toured campuses include:

• Maps and precise directions to get there by any mode of transportation
• Nearby hotels, motels, B&Bs, and resorts for every budget
• The best and worst times to visit each campus
• Dates and times when campus tours are available
• How to arrange an overnight stay in a dormitory
• Information on meeting professors, admissions officers, and coaches

Visiting College Campuses also gives readers mileage charts by state and region, so they’ll know exactly how far those targeted schools are from one another and how many campuses can be covered each day of the trip. Month-by-month academic calendars let readers know when school is in session, so they won’t show up to find an empty campus. Customized trips help to avoid hassles and disappointments, and allow prospective students to get the most out of their time.

This review is from: Visiting College Campuses, 6th Edition (Princeton Review Series) (Paperback)
Andy Bevridge completely misunderstands the purpose of this book.
At the start of a book there is a disclaimer which directs readers to double check times of tours and visits with the college you are planning to visit.As a high school College counselor, what I found very useful in the book were the directions to each college which were incredibly accurate..and believe me if you ever tried to drive to these schools you know how difficult the directions can be. In addition most people don't have access to the web while they are driving and don't always plan ahead. This book allows for the opportunity to visit other schools that are in the area of the school you originally intended to visit. Not every one is so organized before a trip--I've told countless parents about this book and they've been very appreciative before and after. Don't leave home without it.

This review is from: Visiting College Campuses, 6th Edition (Princeton Review Series) (Paperback)
If all you require in selecting a college is what the cutoff for the SAT scores are, and which Motel-6 is nearby where you can stay while visiting the campus, then this is your book. The best that the book can do for you is supply you with the hours and telephone number of the admission office. It offers absolutely no insight to the curricula, strengths or weaknesses of the school.
