Andrew Belasco

Book - 2021

Review by Booklist Review

A top guide to higher education choices, Belasco's book is a succinct, affordable, and highly readable resource to suit the individual student looking for the perfect collegiate match. Candid summations identify the most sports- and Greek-crazy campuses and the prime majors for academic depth and future earnings. Coverage of student aid, counseling and recruiting services, top employers, and retention rates point high school seniors and transfer students to the best deals. Tidbits of data--the high crime rate around Wake Forest University, Notre Dame's Catholic background, Yale's music and drama opportunities, Memphis biking lanes, immense enrollment of the University of Washington at Seattle, progressive perspective of Oberlin College--enlighten families to peripheral aspects of campus life. Lacking from overviews are details of gender safety programs, especially the size of security forces. A superb choice for high school libraries and counseling offices, homeschoolers, and public libraries.
