Choosing the Right College is an independently researched and written volume that covers the things that matter most, such as core curricula, campus crime, student living arrangements, the quality of teaching and student advising, freshman orientation, good professors to seek out, and courses and departments to avoid. The 2004 edition has been thoroughly revised and rewritten. It has also been expanded to include 120 of the nation's top private and public colleges and universities. "Choosing the Right College is by far the best college guide in America. It covers subjects not even mentioned in other college guides, but which are urgently important for parents and students to know about. This is especially so at a time when choosing the wrong college can lead not merely to disappointment but to disaster." Thomas Sowell, Hoover Institution, Stanford University.
