5.0 out of 5 stars Required Reference Book, September 10, 2005

By	D. Zwach (Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you need to decide which college to attend, or are the parent of a future college student, this book is a must have reference book. Don't just use the College Board online school finder as I found it seems to sometimes give strange results. This book provides the "whole picture" of a school.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great college resource, March 11, 2006

By	L. Ensworth (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has everything I've needed so far, although the college search has just begun. It gives a lot of information that I wouldn't have expected. I know we could look at one in the library, but it is great to have it as a reference at home whenever I think of a school and/or quandry.

4.0 out of 5 stars College Board College Handbook, September 3, 2006

By	Georgina Chin - See all my reviews

We used this book to help my daughter pick the colleges she would apply to. The book is a wealth of information about every 2 and 4 year college in the United States. At a glance you can find out the cost, academic offerings, SAT scores, clubs and organizations and ethnic makeup just to name a few. I highly recommend it to anyone applying to college.
