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.

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.
