Description
In this revised and expanded guide, College Placement Bureau Director Loren Pope profiles forty colleges that excel at developing potential, values, initiative, and risk-taking in a wide range of students. This new edition includes a revised group of colleges and for the first time addresses the issues of home schooling, learning disabilities, and single-sex education. Pope encourages students to be hard-nosed consumers when visiting colleges, and shows how the college experience can enrich every young person's life, whether they are "A", "B", or "C" students.

Included in the profiles are:
-- Evaluations of each school's program and "personality"
-- Interviews with undergraduates, professors, and deans
-- Information on what happens to the graduates and what they think of their college experience.
