1) Paperback Book Fiske Guide to Colleges 2009 (Fiske Guide to Colleges) by Sourcebooks, Inc.. this is a good book, but i can´t help but to think that the old school college guidebook is a little outdated in today´s tech-savvy world. i´m looking for a searchable tool, somewhere where i can enter in specific criteria that i´m looking for in a college and subsequently find the perfect college for me. i´d realy suggest using a website such as www.campuscompare.com that incorporates the quantitative information available in such a guidebook with the student-reviews and digital media that reveals the personality of the school, all in a searchable database, online format that i am familiar with.¤

2) Paperback Book Fiske Guide to Colleges 2009 (Fiske Guide to Colleges) by Sourcebooks, Inc.. The Fiske Guide presents thorough information on a remarkable number of schools. In addition to basic enrollment statistics, this book provides up-to-date contact information for admissions departments, enrollment deadlines, a list of the school´s strongest programs/departments, a list of similar ("overlap") schools for each college or university, and an in-depth discussion of academic and social life at each school. Well-researched and accurate. I am an academic counselor, and I refer to this book *constantly*. It is far superior to other college guides I have read. A must-have for anyone embarking on the college search process.¤

3) Paperback Book Fiske Guide to Colleges 2009 (Fiske Guide to Colleges) by Sourcebooks, Inc.. This is one of the best college guides out there. It has a lot of great detailed information on the colleges including quotes from students. The number of colleges profiled is just right--enough to provide some options but not so many that it´s overwhelming. I really like how Fiske shares which colleges are similar to the one you´re interested in. That makes the college search a little easier.¤
