Still incomplete
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
There are thousands of colleges and universities in the US. These 320 are mostly the ones worth concentrating on. However, the list is still unfortunately incomplete. Where's Olin? Where's the University of Tulsa? Where's New Mexico Tech? Where's Colorado School of Mines? They list several others in the category lists and put an asterisk by them to indicate that they are NOT profiled... admitting their incompleteness. Don't make this your only guide or you might miss out.

Funny, readable, and VERY helpful
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
After going through literally dozens of lugubrious, dripping-with-sincerity college guides, I bumbled across this outrageous piece of tactless, opinionated, politically-incorrect--and absolutely indispensable--commentary. It provides all the basics parents or students need to know, plus the sort of pithy remarks that describe a school in one vivid image, such as, "There are a lot of school spirits at Clemson (100 proof)" or "1600's on your SAT's may not be enough to get in at Harvard. Get a hobby--like winning Pulitzer Prizes."
