THE BEST 385 COLLEGES

Listing their top picks, the editors cover academics, student population, admissions facts, costs, and financial aid—and they rate campus life with a numerical score. Students themselves (140,000 surveyed) rank schools in 62 categories with comments ranging from serious to tongue-in-cheek—best career/job placement services, most diverse student population, best college newspapers, dorms like palaces, and more. Includes green ratings for colleges that are environmentally friendly, a section listing the 20 most popular majors, and an Index of Schools by Cost that allows readers to search all colleges in the book by price. 7½” x 10″.
