Summary: Thanks, Rugg's, for helping me choose the perfect college! 2008-12-15
Comment: I agree with other reviewers that a description of the programs at the recommended schools would make this book even better, but I have to give Rugg's credit for helping me choose my current school. It was last on my (very long!) list, having been added as an afterthought - then I saw it recommended for foreign-language majors in Rugg's and got really interested. A year later, I'm finishing my first semester at my ideal college. There's obviously no guarantee this would happen for other people, but I do believe that anyone who requires a certain strong program/s at their school of choice will appreciate this book. I also like that schools are grouped according to selectivity, another way of helping readers narrow down their options. Check for this book at the library or in your guidance counselor's office before buying, though - photocopying the relevant pages will save you a lot of money!

Summary: OK for Guidance Counselors 2008-06-13
Comment: Rugg's recommendations is a comprehensive list service, with accompanying statistics for the colleges. It is well prepared but BEWARE! This is a reference tool for high school guidance offices rather than a primer for parents and students going through the search process. The summary of the book is misleading and I purchased it, thinking it would help my son and I to become more familiar with the colleges.I gave the bok to the guidance counselor and he is using it as a reference.
I recommend the Fiske Book of Colleges, or a similar publication that contains very informative explanations for each college and also contains the statistics the Rugg's book contains.

Summary: Nothing compares 2007-12-20
Comment: No better source exists, even online, for those in search of the college or colleges that offer majors, minors or coursework in disparate subjects. If you have a child who wants to major in 'cognitive studies' and minor in 'creative writing,' changes her/his mind six months later to a double major in 'electrical engineering' and 'urban planning,' and you think there may be more changes coming before the final decisions are made of where to apply and where to attend, this is a book you'll want to live with for a couple of years.

Summary: Ruggs Recommendations on the Colleges:24th edition 2007-11-12
Comment: This is the book my son's guidance counselor went to when he told her what he was interested in studying in college. We used the lists over and over when deciding where to look. It is a great cross reference guide. Finally, I decided to buy the book, which I will use in our next college search.
