Title: Recommend for college preparation
Review: I have a junior and this is so helpful in college planning for the next year. We bought the pre-loved book because we just need a little info of colleges depending on her interest. It made us discover colleges that were not on our radar and also gave us more information about the college campus and students. Good book to start your college planning journey.

Title: Great Resource
Review: This book was a great resource. My daughter and I turned to this many times to research a school. It provides all of the relevant information and gives you a little perspective on what the environment and social life are like at the school. There are some quotes from real students as well, which I found very helpful. Definitely must have if youâre on the hunt for colleges.

Title:
Review: This book succinctly gives you the details you want to know about US college acceptance rates, comparable comparisons, how nice the dorms are, the food and Greek life. They have sidebars of all the pertinent information so itâs quick and easy to digest. I canât imagine the process without this book. Do yourself a favor and purchase it. You wonât be disappointed.
