Your ultimate source for honest, unbiased information, College Prowler delivers an inside look at 280 of the top colleges and universities in the US. Complete with thousands of student quotes, grades, stats, and reviews, this college guide offers a comprehensive collection of college information.

Picking a college is hard, but we're here to help. The lists at the beginning of this book groups 280 schools in a variety of categories. Interested in location, size, or selectivity? Check the lists. Curious about which schools have the best dining, dorms, or local atmosphere? We rank those, too. Cross-compare between the different lists to find the schools that match all of your needs. Dive into our school-specific sections and find out why those colleges you have your eye on scored well in one category and poor in another. Just like the original College Prowler guidebooks, each school's section is student-written and provides its own unique dialogue to help you discover if the college is right for you.
Big Book of Colleges 2008 November 19, 2008 I purchased this book at the NACAC conference in Seattle. What a great book! The Prowler gives its readers a new way to view colleges and universities. I highly recommend it as an adjunct for parents and high school students as they embark on the students' college quest.

As a private college counselor I find the Big Book of Colleges to be a valuable tool. It is up to date, insightful and honest information from the very students who live at that college. Even though I supply my office with the guides, my clients end up going out and purchasing them so they can share the information with family and friends. What a "fun" way to learn and discover more even before you visit!
Students will read this Guide Book! October 2, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
WARNING: this is not your typical college guide book! And, when it is written by students for students, that's a good thing. While there's no doubt that college-searching students need a guidebook with facts, figures and statistics, a book that puts "flesh on the bones" of a potential college experience is equally important. This is the prospective college student's anecdotal guidebook on subjects: such as "Nightlife, Greek Life, Guys, Girls, and Drug Scene". Basics are also included, but what the students will sit around to read and discuss are the four or five quotes on various topics including "Academics, Local Atmosphere, Safety and Security", etc. It is the quotes by each college's current students that give this one-of-a-kind guidebook its power. My students Love this book.

A great read for students planning for college! October 1, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
College Prowler's Big Book of Colleges is a great read! I can't imaging any student applying to college without reading the well-balanced description of each college. The fact that the insights shared reflect the thinking of the current student body and that the descriptions are so well organized makes the book a MUST-READ!
