great book - helped me pick a college

i could't afford to visit all the colleges i was considering, so i bought a few of the college prowler books. although i chose a different school, this was one of the best books i came across. it really did feel like the closest thing to visiting in person, and that's how i knew it probably wasnt a perfect fit. if i didnt have it, i might have made a mistake. really great book!

You won't find the info in this book anywhere else

"Yale University: Off the Record (College Prowler)" is a must have for any high school student, college transfer, or parent thinking about attending or simply researching the university. The information is provided in both an informative and interesting manner. I love the fact that it's entirely written by a current student and that I learned things I'd likely never have found out if I'd just relied on the bigger reports out there. Some of the unique elements include sections on "Guys and Girls", "Finding a Job or Internship", and "Off-Campus Housing". The student quotes are especially helpful, as they give insight into all aspects of the school's culture that you won't get on a college tour. I highly recommend this book.

I could never have picked a college without it!!

This guide is the definitive resource on Yale University. Unlike other books that are huge compendiums with just a bit of information on all universities, this book covers the college in depth, from academics to the party scene to parking to safety and security. And unlike, propaganda provided by the university itself, this guide is impartial, written by an actual student, and contains a collection of real student quotes on every topic! Not only does this book provide an honest look into Yale, it is a great resource once there. It includes a restaurant guide, lists of the best places to study, the best places for coffee, the best places to go clubbing, the best ways to get around town (including phone numbers for taxi services, rental cars, airports, etc.), and it gives information on the local movie theaters, hotels, night spots, etc. There is even a list of Yale slang - you will be speaking like a Yalie before you even arrive! This guide is a must for every prospective student, every parent, and every student about to begin his/her education at this great university.
