Helpful, honest, and straightforward, the Fiske Guide to Colleges delivers an insider's look at what it's really like to be a student at the "best and most interesting" schools in the United States, plus Canada, Great Britain, and Ireland--so you can find the best fits for you.
In addition to detailed and candid stories on each school, you will find:
-A self-quiz to help you understand what you are really looking for in a college
-Lists of strong programs and popular majors at each college
-"Overlap" listings to help you expand your options
-Indexes that break down schools by state, price, and average debt
-Vital information on how to apply, including deadlines, fees, and test requirements

网友对Fiske Guide to Colleges 2017的评论
为孩子今年申请而买的，感觉这一本书要完胜之前买的所有其他。所以又下单为孩子的好朋友买了一本。可惜没有中译本，我看不懂。
I'm a Harvard Grad (class of '02), professional test-prep tutor and college consultant based in San Diego, and I give this book my qualified recommendation.
I've been using the Fiske guide to Colleges with my students for over 10 years now. Although it's not my favorite college guide (that honor goes to Princeton Review's College Guide The Best 380 Colleges, 2016 Edition (College Admissions Guides)), the Fiske guide is still helpful and worth checking out for its unique perspectives.
However, be forewarned that the Fiske guide is not exactly an unbiased, realistic source of information. If you're looking for honest criticism of colleges as well as glowing praise, then don't bother looking here--it makes every college look great. Yes, student interviews are included, but they are overwhelmingly positive--it's almost as if these entries are extensions of the admissions department from each school. The most negative kind of comments you can find are those such as "classes are demanding" and "this school is for people who want to make a lot of money after college."
If you're like me, then as a college-bound student (or the parent of one) you don't just want to read the good news about your prospective schools, but the bad news too. If the dining hall food is lousy, the dorms are dreadful, or the town is not college-friendly, then this is something we deserve to know, rather than have glossed over in a sea of overblown praise. Look elsewhere for this type of critical information.
Here are the statistics provided by the Fiske guide:
Website, Location, Public/Private, Total Enrollment, Undergraduates, % Male/Female, SAT Ranges, ACT Ranges, % Financial Aid, % Pell Grant, Expense (they use categories, but why not just provide an exact full tuition cost?), % Student Loans, Average Debt (again categorized instead of a dollar amount), Phi Betta Kappa (Yes/No), # Applicants, % Accepted, % Enrolled, % Grad in 6 Years, % Returning Freshmen, Academics (rating), Social (rating), Quality of Life (rating), Admissions Phone #, Email Address, List of Strong Programs, Application Requirements.
I wish you the best of luck with your college search!
Pretty good breakdown of schools, 'in a nutshell' description plus stats and other facts, clearly presented. My University was a large, liberal arts school with tons of on-off campus activities, cultural lore, lesser known underbelly, and a bunch of other things that would take dozens of pages to get the full picture. But the 'nutshell' description of my school pretty much nailed it in a few paragraphs, if that is any indicator.
Great guide to selecting a college. It's a good first start for high school students and their parents before navigating the college application process.
Got it fir my son and his friend . They r juniors and they both thought it was great . They do check the colleges they are interested in . It is very helpful to get an input before they decide which one to visit
One of the most thorough college reviews - includes a lot of information that other guides don't include but are important when considering where one will love and work for four years...
