Overview

Using on-campus sources to turn up the best and worst aspects of leading schools across the nation, ""Choosing the Right College"" is at once an insider's guide to almost 140 leading American colleges and universities and a high-minded mentor on how to obtain a serious education at virtually any institution of higher learning. ISI's editorial team analyzes the quality of curricula, the rigor and vigor of major academic departments, and the intellectual freedom that prevails - or not - on each campus. ""Choosing the Right College"" reveals which schools have vital intellectual atmospheres, safe campuses, and wholesome living arrangements, and which ones don't. And it names, recommending specific professors from whom to take classes and advising readers on which buildings ought to be avoided entirely - if possible. These features and many others have made ""Choosing the Right College"" the most trusted guide on the market for prospective college students interested in obtaining a genuine liberal education in a healthy environment. With a new introduction by Walter Williams, this 2010-11 edition has been entirely updated and revised to reflect the current state of play at each institution. This title includes in-depth essays on elite institutions; exclusive reports on campus politics and intellectual diversity; trustworthy advice on which departments, professors, and courses to seek out; and, specific guidance on how to build your own core curriculum at each school. School profiles and special features are now online at website.
