Great resource for learning about name-brand colleges。 There are of course many good schools not in this book。 But it’s a good starting point and I have referenced and will reference it many times during my HS Junior’s ongoing college search。

If you can only purchase one book on colleges， this should be your pick。 It's the grandfather of choices。 This publication gets better with each edition。 All the basics （test scores， acceptance rates） and then the extras （social， quality of life）。 I discover something new each and every time I pick it up。 If you can only purchase one book on colleges， this should be your pick。 It's the grandfather of choices。 This publication gets better with each edition。 All the basics （test scores， acceptance rates） and then the extras （social， quality of life）。 I discover something new each and every time I pick it up。 。。。more

I use this for work as an Independent College Consultant。 I purchase a new on every 2 years for updated information。

Helpful guide to give parents and kids an introduction to a wide - but not exhaustive - range of colleges and universities。 Strengths 1。 The up front sections: including a survey to help kids identify what features may be important to them， information on cost and debt rankings， etc。 2。 The profiles bring each school to life in a balanced way， including incorporating both qualitative and quantitative data。 3。 The profiles are also engaging and accessible for the kids to look at。 I think the Fisk Helpful guide to give parents and kids an introduction to a wide - but not exhaustive - range of colleges and universities。 Strengths 1。 The up front sections: including a survey to help kids identify what features may be important to them， information on cost and debt rankings， etc。 2。 The profiles bring each school to life in a balanced way， including incorporating both qualitative and quantitative data。 3。 The profiles are also engaging and accessible for the kids to look at。 I think the Fiske Guide will be a resource we return to a lot over the next few years。 And it has been helpful to see how my child responds to things （both when his views are in common with or different than mine） so I can be more aware of our different perspectives and be a better sounding board as he works through his approach to this big decision。 。。。more

I read the 2019 version。 Good for getting a first inpression， interesting， and definitely got me thinking， but not the gospel。 You need to do outside research， as the book is not very critical of schools and does not go very in-depth on their culture or issues。

FWIW， I’ve looked at a lot of college guides and I really like the format of Fiske the best。 They offer basic information clearly， have handy icons to display quality of life， academic rigor， etc。， and their write ups cover the high points of what you want to know。 I’ve read the whole thing。。。and plan to use it as a reference often in the year to come。

I loved this guide！ I actually read the 2018 edition and it was just great！ This guide gives a lot of personality to each college in a humorous way。 I also like the format and how all the information is organized。 The most useful book about colleges so far。 I checked it out from the library and will definitely buy it when time comes for my kids to apply to colleges。

Robin ，

Very useful。 The kid read it and discovered schools she might have have heard of that correspond with her interests and wishes for the next four years。 I read it and learned some more about those places。 Especially useful are the quotes from students at each school and the information on school culture and whether classes are taught by professors or TAs。 Includes lists of SAT-optional colleges， colleges strong in particular majors， number of applicants & acceptance rates， and a guide to general Very useful。 The kid read it and discovered schools she might have have heard of that correspond with her interests and wishes for the next four years。 I read it and learned some more about those places。 Especially useful are the quotes from students at each school and the information on school culture and whether classes are taught by professors or TAs。 Includes lists of SAT-optional colleges， colleges strong in particular majors， number of applicants & acceptance rates， and a guide to general costliness。 An excellent tool for helping you decide where to visit。 。。。more

This was the primary resource book we used to focus on my daughter's college search。 It was easy to read arranged well and had valuable information。 We bought other books and hardly used them。 This was the primary resource book we used to focus on my daughter's college search。 It was easy to read arranged well and had valuable information。 We bought other books and hardly used them。 。。。more

Hate hate hate the way this is organized but the write up about the schools are good。

Excellent reference to browse。 Insightful commentary from students， good info in sidebars for at-a-glance comparisons， a great book to have on the coffee table to pick up and look through as the mood strikes。

Has been sitting above the toilet in the "Boys" bathroom of my family's house since 2006， when a neighbor let us borrow it for my upcoming college search。 Have read every entry a handful of times， with extra-attention paid to the Midwestern LACs， WashU and Deep Springs （not because of any interest in going there， but because 'What？？'）。 Because of this book， I am now an expert on a few students interpretations of their respective colleges。 Circa 2005， at least。These 5-stars are purely sentimental Has been sitting above the toilet in the "Boys" bathroom of my family's house since 2006， when a neighbor let us borrow it for my upcoming college search。 Have read every entry a handful of times， with extra-attention paid to the Midwestern LACs， WashU and Deep Springs （not because of any interest in going there， but because 'What？？'）。 Because of this book， I am now an expert on a few students interpretations of their respective colleges。 Circa 2005， at least。These 5-stars are purely sentimental， and only reflect the readability of the text as a bathroom book。 。。。more

I am sure that it is hard to believe， but I think I have read -- and sometimes reread -- nearly every word in this guide while helping two of my kids prepare a strategy for college admissions。 The Fiske Guide is full of helpful， accurate information written in an engaging and sometimes amusing tone that makes every college sound like a good match for someone。
