Editorial Reviews

Product Description
From Rolling Stone comes the definitive guide to college that tells the iPod generation where to go if they want to learn about music -- or just listen to it

As 85 million, music-worshipping "echo boomers" head for college over the next decade, nothing will be more essential than Schools That Rock: The Rolling Stone College Guide. Here, college-bound kids will find information on which towns and campuses offer top-notch venues, record stores, radio stations, and music festivals. In addition, entries will refer readers to schools that offer courses or degrees in music and the music business. They will learn about Syracuse University’s new class on the lyrics of Lil’ Kim, Middle Tennessee State University’s recording business department, and Case Western Reserve’s audio engineering concentration. Smart, humorous, and highly informative, Schools That Rock is the must-have college guide for the portable-audio generation.

About the Author
Jenny Eliscu is a contributing editor at Rolling Stone. Before joining Rolling Stone, she was an editor at the independent music magazine CMJ New Music Monthly. Eliscu received her master’s degree in English at Queens College. She currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.

(REAL NAME)   
This book offers a good, if a little outdated by now, look at places that have "happening" music scenes: cities, venues, colleges.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource, July 8, 2006
By litzmom (Bowling Green, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This book is a handy resource for anyone making college decisions and planning for a career in the music industry. It's well written but concise enough to hold the attention of the student who just wants to get back to his guitar.
