<p>Right now, I'm getting a mad rush of viewbooks from random colleges everywhere. I was just wondering which ones you guys liked the most. (And which ones I should ask for...just because :] )</p>
<p>My favorite would have to be the Stanford one -- the MIT one isn't bad either (the campus pictures are so pretty <em>__</em>).</p>
<p>Brown, which is my top choice, kinda disappointed me. Anyone else have any comments on viewbooks from other schools?</p>
<p>Amherst, Princeton! The texture of Princeton’s pages are awesome!!</p>
<p>Stupid question: How does one receive a viewbook? Son’s got tons of mail. Some of it is nicer than others. Some just postcards, some real fancy multi-page full-color brochures/books. And everything in between.</p>
<p>Are the nice brochure books what are commonly refered to as viewbooks? Or is a viewbook something official? Something labeled “viewbook?”</p>
<p>UChicago, Amherst, and Williams all impressed me greatly.</p>
<p>First thought that came to mind: “wow, how much money did they spend on this elaborate binding and all these glossy photographs…” i.e. they didn’t hesitate to spend money to impress prospective students, which is a good thing.</p>
<p>Acceptance materials are different: Middlebury’s was an amazing package of envelopes, folders, and stickers, as was NYU–both which sent most of their prior junk on freaky, smelly recycled paper. Amherst, which had such great propaganda, was anticlimactic.</p>
<p>i liked the yale viewbook.
it was complete and innovative for a viewbook (content wise)</p>
<p>to Doug: viewbooks are generally requested, but my MIT and Harvard one came in without request. When you get one, it’s quite obvious – it’s usually the size of a regular magazine and usually has pretty nice quality pages. Looking at the stockpile I have already, I don’t really see the word “viewbook” anywhere though </p>
<p>Just yesterday, I went and requested one from Yale and Princeton because…I like looking at pictures and reading.</p>
<p>i liked amherst’s</p>
