Review
"a wealth of information on each college, more of it and more up-to-date than you'll find in any other college guidebook. It doesn't get any better than this book."
-The Chattanooga Times, Steve Bartlett, the McCallie School

"The College Board has a winner here--covers all bases (and questions) likely to be asked by college-bound students and their parents."
-Library Journal

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Content, October 3, 2000
By A Customer
This handbook is wonderful for a student that is looking for a guide that contains plentiful information about a large number of colleges. However, it may contain more than you need - if you already have a few colleges in mind. Still, it's a great guide to colleges and is second only to actually visiting colleges themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive source of college information., April 14, 1998
Published by the College Board, this is a 1700+ page reference that contains basic information on over 3300 colleges. Great source of information for prospective college students and those considering transfer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely unhelpful, February 10, 2001
By DrBrad11 "DrBrad11" (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
This book contains even less information than I could get online (with a site like usnews.com). It has, on average, one quarter of a page per college (a half a page for popular ones) and contains only factual information. For example, you might be able to determine when a college was built, what percentage of males it has, how many freshman it has, and a list of majors. But nothing more - there is no opinion (no rating system like Fiske) and no commentary on the college itself.

A useless waste of money - go with the Fiske guide or stick to Internet-based information sites; they have a ton more information than this remiss handbook.
