From the Reviews
Paise for the previous Edition:

�This well-researched and organized resource is affordable, balanced, clearly written, and easy-to-use. The coverage is more comprehensive and well organized by far than its competitor Peterson�s Four-Year Colleges � This essential guide would be invaluable to high school seniors, counselors, teachers, and anyone looking for up-to-date information including statistical data about colleges and universities, and belongs in every academic, high school, and public library.�
—Njoki W. Kinyatti, ARBAonline, American Reference Books Annual 2005, Volume 36

"Of all the college directories on the market today, this three-inch-thick book may be the largest—presenting 1/2-page write-ups of more than 1,650 schools...The book rates an A for its level of detail and the useful indices by majors offered, cost, and admissions standards."
—College Spotlight, Janurary/February 2003

�More than 1600 accredited universities are logged in this fat book, which prides itself on giving readers �as much information as possible� and hardly disappoints.�
—Greg WinterEducation Life, 2003

"...this book does a much better job of describing the unique characteristics of the 50 plus schools it profiles than almost anything else on the market...The book impressed me. It should impress counselors and it should be very helpful to students seeking to distinguish the life style on campus from one school to another."
—College Spotlight, January/February, 2002
