Review:

The Best Colleges 2014 is more than just a list of the best colleges and universities in the United States. It's also part guide for high school students, and part personal with experiences and advice from recent grads and current college students.
We come to the most personal part of the book where we read success stories from students and why students choose their schools. In this part of the book there are some frank and very real stories from students. Rejection letters, procrastination, not getting into the school of choice, and even a feature on a community college student all play a part. Featuring immigrants, students of both genders, a variety of races, and with different backgrounds, test scores, and interests made this part of the book a great read.
Finding ways to save is paramount for most families. The book includes some options for saving on expenses, and also a list of Great Schools at Great Prices or those that offer the best price for the value or the education offered. In addition, it shares a list of students in the most debt, and those in the least debt from the graduating classes of 2012.
Overall I would recommend picking up this book if you have a middle school student or high school student. At $9.95 (and available in digital format) it's worth the cost. ----thecentsiblelife.com

Even before studying the schools, the guidebook suggests the students study themselves personally. Have your student take an honest look at themselves in the mirror to find out how they learn best and what matters to them. This is their future we are trying to plan. I just want all the tools available to us to help us make the best choice for our son. I am thankful to have read the guidebook for a closer look at choosing a college. You may miss out on all the details and tips if you try to do it yourself. ----forthemommas.com

You have no doubt heard about U.S. News & World Report and its guide to the nation's best colleges. You probably associate it with numbers, lists and rankings. But it actually provides much more information than how your first choice college stacks up in relation to every other university in the country. The guide educates you about how taking the initiative during the college search will benefit you for a long time after the applications are sent. -- --nextstepu.com
