Book Reviews of Fiske Guide to Colleges 2008
Book Review: Wouldn't base my decisions on this....
Summary: 3 Stars
I was a little disappointed in some of the reviews for some of the colleges. This book stated they were party schools, when in fact I know they are not party schools to the degree this book rated them. Other schools that are KNOWN party schools had a lesser rating for party activity. I wouldn't base my decisions on this book.

Fiske served for 17 years as Education Editor of the New York Times, during which time he realized that college-bound students and their families needed better information on which to base their educational choices. He wrote the Fiske Guide to Colleges to help them. He is also the author, with Bruce G. Hammond, of the Fiske Guide to Getting into the Right College.
The 2008 edition is fully updated and based on new surveys of thousands of students and administrators. It's the perfect tool for anxious students and their parents.
