Customer Reviews

Provides a useful "ground floor" perspective

We purchased 4 prowler books to assist my daughter in making her final college decision. They were quite helpful in getting beyond the mainstream guide information. This book helped her decide on W & L . Every school has characteristics which make it right for one kid and wrong for another. Reading this book points out some of these important distinctives. In getting several guides we were able to compare / contrast different schools as they all follow the same outline of chapters. This resource helped my daughter to zero in on questions to ask students and professors when visiting. It also gave her a starting point in deciding about a dorm. This book is a good perspective to round out other sources such as Princeton, US News and ISI guides. The ISI "Choosing the Right College" guide is another good alternative perspective emphasizing the traditional liberal arts preparation each school may provide.
