The Straight-Talking Student’s Guide to the Colleges
For more than thirty years, The Insider’s Guide to the Colleges has been the favorite resource of high school seniors across the country, because it is the only comprehensive college reference written and researched by students for students. In interviews with hundreds of peers on campuses all over the country, our writers have gotten the inside scoop on every school–on topics from professors and campus life to dorms and student activities. Each school profile in The Insider’s Guide cuts through the veneer of brochures and common stereotypes to reveal the college as it’s seen through the eyes of its students.

Working Knowledge
The Yale Daily News – Working Knowledge
What to do in College NOW to get the job you want
“This book is refreshingly different from most other what-to-do-after-college guides.” — Forbes.com
“What can I do now, while I’m still in college, to prepare for my career?”
“Will the classes I choose now really affect my job later?”
“How can I find our what job I’m really suited for?”
The choices you make now always affect those you make later, and college life is no exception. The classes you choose, the sports you play, the clubs you join, the people you befriend, and the opportunities you seek all play a role in your future in ways obvious and subtle. Having survived both college and the post-college job search, main author Julia Kahr provides a thorough overview of the choices that you as a college student face today and advice on how to turn those decisions into the beginnings of a dream career.
Drawing on over 150 interviews with college graduates who are now successes in their respective careers, this book shows you how these people faced the choices they made in college and what the consequences of those choices were. Their decisions serve as an example for all college students today, and their mistakes — there are more than a few — provide equally valuable insight on which activities in college really pay dividends.
