5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, and informative, 24 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Looking Beyond the Ivy League: Finding the College That's Right for You; Revised Edition (Paperback)
This book is a must have for anyone who is considering application to an Ivy League school. It's witty, informative, and at times, humorous. If you are a senior in high school, than you must read it before you even apply to any school.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book changed my life, 21 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Looking Beyond the Ivy League: Finding the College That's Right for You; Revised Edition (Paperback)
Haven't written reviews here before, but seeing with delight that this book is still around I had to write one. I read this book midway through my junior year of high-school and, struck by the sensible and sound reasoning that informs every argument, I applied to a completely different set of schools than I initially considered. Ultimately I feel I profited invaluably from attending a small liberal-arts college instead of a big brand name: I was going through a lot of troubles, and the individual attention and support I was able to obtain from small departments, small classes, and concerned and caring professors (even outside of my major) allowed me to find my inner strengths and embark on a life path I would not have dreamed of when I first arrived at college. Now how many of my friends who went to big-name research universities can say that? Thanks, Mr. Pope.

5.0 out of 5 stars The key book for our student's college search--a gem., 17 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Looking Beyond the Ivy League: Finding the College That's Right for You; Revised Edition (Paperback)
My son and I found this book to be sensible without being pedantic, and written in a pleasant, readible style. It was the key resource in his college search. Pope clearly favors small colleges and makes his case well. Because of Pope's recommendations, my son is now loving his experience in a small liberal arts school. We can only thank our lucky stars when we hear his friends tell stories of huge lecture hall classes and almost slum-like high rise dormitories at their big schools. Choose the trendy, big-name schools if you want, but please, not until you've read Pope's insights about small liberal arts schools. (And don't miss the reprinted news article he closes with.)

4.0 out of 5 stars This book shattered my (erroneous) view of higher education.
Loren Pope's intelligent writing not only makes the college selection process less daunting, but it forces one to evaluate and question his/her educational values. Read more
