<p>To current college students:
Have you found that the atmosphere of your school is accurately (or as accurately as possible in such a truncated review) represented by the profiles in college guide books such as the Fiske Guide, Princeton Review's 3** Best Colleges, the College Prow ler website, etc.? Have there been any major discrepancies? When you were researching and selecting schools, did you find these reviews to be more / less helpful compared to tours, information sessions, and accepted student visits? If you wouldn't mind, please specify what school you currently attend.</p>
<p>I attend Rice (and potentially transferring to Duke). I found that most of the reviews in these guides accurately represented the campus atmosphere (at least at Rice).</p>
<p>I will also suggest uni go. com (without the space)… it has a lot of student reviews!</p>
<p>Not necessarily-depends on the guide and when the school was last reviewed. For Grinnell, at least, College Prow is significantly out of date and doesn’t reflect all the new facilities and excellent cafeteria.</p>
