A truly massive guide for the upcoming college bound student

2005: I have 2 daughters in high school and we've all ready begun our college/university search. Seems like anytime we have a question about ANY school, this book is the first thing we pick up and open. "Peterson's" guide is proven invaluable in our quest for finding the 'right' school. 6 pounds make this book an armful to carry. 3091 pages of super fine paper (careful - they tear easily). A computer CD also accompanies the book with more in-depth college info. I like this book for several reasons. #1 - lots of colleges (2000+), with all/most major univerisities in every state included; #2 - arranged several different ways, alphabetical, by state, by major - thus making it easier to narrow down the choices; #3 - when looking up a specific school you'll find right under the school name a short paragraph with all pertinent info (tuition & fees, average test scores required, difficulty level to get in, campus setting, majors & minors, etc). What follows usually includes info on campus life, extra-curricular activities, the Greek system, and history of the school... and so much more. This book also contains phone #'s and e-mail addresses of the necessary contacts (admissions dept) at each school. Truly a great find if you're just starting your search on colleges.
