Book Reviews of Fiske Guide to Colleges 2009, 25E

Book Review: Missed my expectations
Summary: 3 Stars

The selection of reviewed colleges is odd - there seems to be no particular logic and colleges I would have expected to find in here were absent. The reviews of the colleges in here are good but I assumed it would have been more comprehensive in its coverage. For example, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and Bradley University are not in here.
