<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>
