One of the better guidesAugust 27, 2010 Jonathan W. May(New Hampshire) Some good info in the guide. Has more opinionated information than many of the other guides, which is good, though it tends to accentuate the positive side just a bit too much. The information about the school's "best majors" and the cross-over schools is very helpful. Would be nice if it had more detailed information that some of the other guides include. For example, it rates the schools with $ signs in terms of cost, but does not provide detailed cost information. But I suppose if you're really interested in a particular school you should be looking at their web side to get definitive cost data.
Fiske Guide to CollegesAugust 13, 2010 School Teacher(Chesapeake, VA) Great to have a copy in the classroom for when students are finished with an assignment. It allows my sophomores, juniors, and seniors to research colleges when they complete an assignment and laptops are not available!
Great tool!August 8, 2010 Scrappin' Mom(California) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We got this book on a recommendation from a relative. It is a wonderful book to use, along with the internet, to discover colleges you have never heard of and weed out ones that aren't for you. This book has alot of information that you will not find on the net.

Definitely a good book to get to start your college search. Recommended by our college counselor & I agree, there is lots of good info to help put that list together

I have done College Admissions Counseling for 28 years. The only book I require students to have is this Fiske Guide. Using it, we are able to decide if a school is a stretch college or not. Some of the percentages are higher than actual figures, but the 'guide' helps to compare colleges.
