Book Reviews of Big Book of Colleges 2010 (College Prowler: The Big Book of Colleges)
Book Review: High school students enjoy using this book
Summary: 4 Stars
College Prowler's "Big Book of Colleges" is probably the most popular (with students) volume in our high school's extensive library of college guides & indexes. Our teens love getting the honest opinions of current students at the colleges. I find the entries are generally balanced and occasionally insightful. The Big Book is fun to read, and gives a good sense of each school's unique personality & culture. It's frank, opinionated, and looks at choices from the student's point of view, so high schoolers get interested and involved in the search process. I didn't give it 5 stars because it does have some built-in limitations. Most college students only know one school, their own, and often hold false ideas about other schools (food, work load, social life, etc.) Also, the entries about Academics can be quite shallow, too often boiling down to "Some profs are good, some aren't." This edition does have more mentions of profs by specific department, which makes it less generalized than earlier versions, and more helpful in choosing between schools. Most importantly, this should not be the only guide consulted. Any college-seeker will also need to consult one or more factual guides, the kind that list acceptance statistics, majors offered, etc.
