Great help in the college search
I used this book five years ago to figure out which college best suited me. There may be many colleges listed, and as I bought the book early in the 10th grade (I was dying to go to college) I did read basically every review, but you can also quickly narrow down the colleges that are best suited for you, such as by knowing that you want a small campus, liberal student body, and a high ratio of professors to students. I bought the book in my senior year as well and then passed the books on the underclassmen that I thought might make use of them. I loved the book, and it really help me, as a girl from Ona, WV, learn about schools across the country and pick the right one.
