written by the former education editor for the New York Times, this book is a must-read for those searching for the right match for college. it will help you look beyond the designer-label colleges and look at colleges that are doing a better job because faculty and students work close together, there is a discussion of values, and there is sense of community.

This is a great book for students and parents looking for alternatives to the big splashy top 40 school guides! It offers schools that are more holistic in their approach to education and unique approaches to learning.
