This is the only guide that contains objective information on every accredited college in the United States--2,150 four-year colleges and universities, and 1,650 two-year community colleges and technical schools. With its clearly laid-out entries and more than 40 indexes, the College Handbook 2009 is also the fastest, easiest way for students to narrow a college search and compare the schools that they're interested in. Tables of Early-Decision and wait-list outcomes show information that can't be found in any other guide. A planning calendar and worksheets help students organize their applications and keep on track. Purchasers of the College Handbook 2009 qualify for a $10 discount on The Official SAT Online Course (TM), the only course offered by the test makers.

I found this book to be an invaluable resource.

I don't typically write reviews, but I felt it necessary in this case. There is an index in the back of the book that lists every college, in the book, in alphabetical order. I have no complaints, I've used the book extensively at my bookstore and I've come here with the intent of buying it. Don't feel like wasting the gas anymore, hehe.

I am doing college counseling this year for the first time. I'm working with this college guide and the Princeton Review guide. The difficult thing to get used to in this guide is that it is arranged by state. That's not necessarily bad, but cumbersome if you're looking up a school and aren't sure where it is located. That one issue keeps my hand reaching for the Princeton Review guide. This guide does have a very good section devoted solely to 2-year schools, which I will find quite useful.
