Title: The Best 331 Colleges, 2002 Edition by Tom Meltzer, Robert Franek ISBN: 0-375-76201-9 Publisher: Princeton Review Pub. Date: 21 August, 2001 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $20.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.12 (16 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: An interesting and helpful read -- if used appropriately
Comment: We must admit we have a few slight reservations about the subjectivity of some of the college students surveyed for this book. Despite the purported 59,000 surveys that were conducted, it seems that some individual surveys may have been given additional weight in the interests of making the book more 'cutting edge'. Nonetheless, the school profiles are very complete and contain such pertinent information as admissions criteria, deadlines, social life, and even cafeteria food.
This book is most helpful for identifying schools that may have otherwise passed under the proverbial radar. However, we do not recommend using this book as a sole source of information for college selection decision making.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good... but you can find better
Comment: This book does a great job at descibing the schools and tells the top school in each catagory, aka public, private, different price ranges, areas of study and the list goes on. My problem with this book is that the introuction states the significance of finding the town, academics, people, that you would like, but I found it incredibly hard to use this book in that fashion. This is a very general book and I would suggest that if you buy it to get another one on a more specific thing that you are looking at for schools
Rating: 5
Summary: Must-read!!
Comment: This book is very insightful. I am the author of The ABC's of College Life, a hip, street-smart guide for college students and I highly recommend The Best 311 Colleges. It has a lot of information the other directories leave out.
