<p>Does anyone have a good, physical book they would recommend that I order to look at schools. I'm looking at top schools all over the country and I want something to physically hold in front of me. I'm hoping there's a book with student opinions of specific programs and accurate stats that's extensive and I know there's probably one out there. Any ideas?</p>
<p>The Fiske Guide is popular and many posters here mention it. It will give you some accurate stats, and the academic strengths of the schools. Also a good idea of the school culture. I liked it quite a bit. It doesn’t get into student opinions of specific programs though.</p>
<p>Another vote for Fiske here. :)</p>
<p>Princeton Review Best 378 Colleges is an option too</p>
<p>Fiske is good to run through lots of college options, cover a lot of turf. Then you go to the colleges’ web sites for what you can more specifically glean from them. Thing is, you can sit in the college section of a bookstore and look through several, decide what you like. And likely find the finaid resources in the same area.</p>
<p>There’s a site for student opinions (probably several,) but the trick is they only have detail for the kids motivated to submit. We found them useful, after we had done a lot of research and could filter.</p>
<p>I like “Princeton Review Best 378” because of the extensive section of survey results based on responses of 120,000+ students.</p>
