Cross-compare between the different lists to find the schools that match all of your needs. Dive into our school-specific sections and find out why those colleges you have your eye on scored well in one category and poor in another. Just like the original College Prowler guidebooks, each school's section is student-written and provides its own unique dialogue to help you discover if the college is right for you.

Summary: A Personalized View of Colleges 2008-12-02
Comment: Unlike many college guides, this one presents students' impressions of their campuses as well as the most pertinent statistics and facts about each school. This makes for a good read, one that high school students should find user friendly and engaging. This shouldn't be the only guide that students refer to, but it goes a long way in personalizing the whole college search process and helping students discover which attributes are important to them in deciding where they will feel most comfortable during their college years.

Comment: As a private college counselor I find the Big Book of Colleges to be a valuable tool. It is up to date, insightful and honest information from the very students who live at that college. Even though I supply my office with the guides, my clients end up going out and purchasing them so they can share the information with family and friends. What a "fun" way to learn and discover more even before you visit!

Summary: Students will read this Guide Book! 2008-10-02
Comment: WARNING: this is not your typical college guide book! And, when it is written by students for students, that's a good thing. While there's no doubt that college-searching students need a guidebook with facts, figures and statistics, a book that puts "flesh on the bones" of a potential college experience is equally important. This is the prospective college student's anecdotal guidebook on subjects: such as "Nightlife, Greek Life, Guys, Girls, and Drug Scene". Basics are also included, but what the students will sit around to read and discuss are the four or five quotes on various topics including "Academics, Local Atmosphere, Safety and Security", etc. It is the quotes by each college's current students that give this one-of-a-kind guidebook its power. My students Love this book.
