National Review College Guide- America's Top Liberal Arts Schools

National Review College Guide

America's Top Liberal Arts Schools:

• Review:: 'A little gem that is still worthwhile Although this book is now more than a decade old it is still an invaluable resource for parents and students. Of particular importance is the introduction by Wm. F. Buckley Jr. Even if you and your college bound youngster do not choose one of the recommended colleges, the introduction will enlighten and familiarize you with what a classical or "liberal arts" education, vs. technical or vocational training, should be. You can thus judge the educational institutions you are condsidering by the criteria and characteristics described in the book. I had my own list of acceptable colleges for my daughter, all derived from this book, but she fell in love with a college that didn't make the list -- primarily because of its reputation for being far on the left of the political and social spectrum. In light of the essays and guidelines offered in this book I was comfortable with her choice -- because her small, private, liberal arts college did demand the core curriculum, based on 5000 years of knowledge and culture from western civilization, that any good liberal arts college or university should provide, no matter the size or purported reputation. These criteria for an enduring, quality education have not changed for hundreds of years, so the fact that this book was published in 1993 should not be a hindrance to its critical regard and purchase. (Daughter was graduated from Reed College in Portland, OR)
• Review:: 'One of the better college guides Leftists concerned about the "National Review" authorship should not be deterred from reading and using this book.

  This is a great guide to where you'll find a good, solid liberal arts curriculum. If your idea of a solid liberal arts curriculum does not match the author's, then the text is certainly useful as a way to eliminate schools from your list.

  We discovered Schenectady's Union College in this guide, went to visit, and were so impressed, we put it on my child's list of schools to apply to. We would never have considered it, without this guide book.

• Review:: 'Needs to be updated. The ISI Guide is more complete. Getting your kid into a good college is a nerve-racking process for most parents. It certainly has been for us. We have found the customer reviews in Amazon very helpful. That prompts us to distill our ratings of the various guidebooks.

  The best short reference on each college is the Princeton Review of The Best (311) Colleges. It gives ratings of academic quality, difficulty of admission, percentage admitted, etc. There is also a brief summary of college life and what each place might be looking for.

  Peterson Guide is comprehensive, and has long write-ups for each school. There is a front section for each school, listed alphabetically within each state, and a back section with detailed profiles of selected institutions.

  Fiske's guide is interesting, but he basically has something good to say for each school, so careful reading between the lines and for "damning with faint praise" is called for.

  The Yale Insider's Guide is extremely subjective, with different students writing various reviews. We did not find it too reliable, except in conjunction with other books.

  Likewise for Barrron's Guide to the Most Competitive Colleges. Recent alumni write of their (invariably positive) experiences. Take it with a grain of salt, or read carefully between the lines.

  Choosing the Right College by ISN was extremely helpful. Some readers criticized it for being allegedly right wing. We did not find it so. Rather, knowing the point of view of the authors helped us evaluate their observations. Other books do not make their biases explicit. A feature of the book we found particularly helpful was the naming of excellent professors and departments in each college.

  Antonoff's College Finder was interesting only in conjunction with other books.

  Three books written from the perspective of college admissions officers were very interesting and helpful. They are The College Admissions Mystique, by Mayher, Getting In, by Bill Paul, and most of all A is for Admission by Michelle Hernandez. We strongly recommend that parents and the kids who are the applicants read at least one of these.

  Another very helpful book was You're Gonna Love This College Guide, by Marty Nemko. It takes the student through the decision process of big vs. small, urban vs. country, elite vs. the level just below, geography, and so forth. That really got our daughter unstuck in her thinking process.

  Loren Pope is another helpful author for those who think that not getting into Harvard is the end of the world.

  Three books we did not find to be particularly helpful are Getting Into Any College, by Jim Good and Lisa Lee, The National Review College Guide, by Charles Sykes and Brad Miner (too out of date), and The Real Freshman Handbook, by Jennifer Hanson.

  One book we found to be unexpectedly useful was Getting Into Medical School Today, by Scott Plantz, et. al. Even if your child is not interested in medical school, this book puts college in perspective for any post-college program.

  We hope readers find our review helpful.

• Review:: 'Book changed my life. Just reading the intro material rearranged my understanding of what it means to be educated. . . This book forever changed my life (!). Now that I've graduated (from one of the schools included), I hand out this book to young worthies that will benefit from its content and guidance.
• Review:: 'A must read for the family of any college bound child. Any concerned parent of a college-bound student would do well to read this book and take its warnings seriously. Too many college students have been graduated with little or no knowledge of the bases of western civilization, and many have not had the pleasure of being taught in small classes by real professors. Choosing a college from this list will almost guarantee your student a good foundation for applying thought and critical analysis to the ideas they will encounter the rest of their life. This book rates, in my opinion, right up there with Charles Sykes's "A Nation of Victims," and Dinesh D'Souza's "Illiberal Education." All three books will forever change the way you view education in America.
