As a high school teacher I have used this guide to help the young woman who are searching for the right college.I have found that this guide gives important information about the courses offered and the campus life. I would recommend that counselors have this guide on hand for their students.

This book is fantastic! I will be attending MIT this fall, and I am overjoyed to have the college search process behind me. It was confusing and arduous, but this book helped so much. My mother had plenty of books full of statistics, but this book helped me know what the colleges really felt like, from safety to openess towards alternative lifestyles. I would reccomend this book to any young woman trying to go to college.

My parents let me buy two college guides. I went and bought Barron's and The Young Woman's Guide to the Top Colleges. Both are excellent. Barron's gives me the stats and Mitchell's gives me the inside story told my college students.

This book was published in 1997. It was the first and it is the best.

Actually, the first guide looking at the college search from a female perspective was published last year: The Smart Girl's Guide to College. Considering that there is so much misleading information about colleges out there already, it's unfortunate the authors of this book would begin with a misrepresentation.
