The Insider's Guide to the Colleges, 2014: Students on Campus Tell You What You Really Want to Know, 40th Edition

The Straight-Talking Student's Guide to the Best Colleges

With this new edition, The Insider's Guide to the Colleges has been, for 40 years, the most relied-upon resource for high school students looking for honest reports on colleges from their fellow students.

Having interviewed hundreds of their peers on more than 330 campuses, and by getting the inside scoop on everything from the nightlife and professors to the newest dorms and wildest student organizations, the reporters at the Yale Daily News have created the most candid college guide available. In addition to the well-rounded profiles, this edition has been updated to include:

Essential statistics for every school, from acceptance rates to popular majors

A "College Finder" to help students zero in on the perfect school

FYI sections with student opinions and outrageous off-the-cuff advice.

The Insider's Guide to the Colleges cuts through the glossy college brochures to get to the things that matter most to students, and by staying on top of trends, it gives those students and their parents the straightforward information they need to choose the school that's right for them.
