<p>I have a dislike for the book titled “Colleges That Change Lives”. ALL colleges change lives and most colleges not listed in that book are a better choice for most students. Likewise- I would hope “looking Beyond The Ivies” would recognize that some public U’s are as good as or better than some Ivies, especially those that offer majors not available at those schools. </p>
<p>Sounds like the computer searches may be the best and most cost effective way to go. Times have changed in the last ten years, not just from our to our kids’ generation. </p>
