Title: Very disappointed.
Review: I wish they had a look inside feature for this book. It was not what I expected at all. The print for the college overviews is very small (like 6 pt. font) and it only provides a paragraph of information. If you want a comprehensive review of the college (1-2 pages) this is NOT the book for you. Very disappointed.
