Summary: Great suggestions for your underachiever
Review: After having to admit that my child is a very average student, the rest was easy. This book was very informative and helped me find several serious college options that stress small interactive student/teacher discussions, work/study experiences, and teacher-student mentoring that may help the underachiever grow. Excellent introductions to a variety of colleges/universities I had never heard of before, that look very promising. 5 stars!

Summary: Easy to use
Review: I didn't read this book, I saw it because a friend that was looking for a college to study. Of course, no one will ever read it all! It's a list of colleges (the title say that) but is very well organize and easy to use. I'm not a reader of lists, but I like this one.

Summary: A descriptive list, good--but not great
Review: Nowhere in this book does the author give any justification for selecting the colleges she includes. There is no real preface, and nothing to guide a student (or a worried parent) to schools with a certain strength, schools in a defined location, schools of a particular size, or schools with any other characteristics.That's it. Just jump in and start reading. Maybe you'll find something that sounds good. This is an easy-to-read, helpful, thorough list. But some kind of serious introduction with a guide to help the reader navigate would have made the book truly useful.
