How can you know what a college is really like without being there? Would you fit in? Is it the right choice for you?

√ In-depth descriptions of campus life and culture, from academic rigor and strong programs to quirky traditions and the social scene
√ Fiske’s trademark academic, social, and quality of life ratings
√ Quotes from current students
√ Fast facts and key stats on size, test scores, acceptance rates, financial aid, and more

“Fiske provides the most thorough, accurate, and objective descriptions of campus culture and communities. It’s my go-to guide book.”—Director of College Counseling, Pennsylvania

Do you already have specific college criteria in mind? Or are you wide open to all options? Fiske Interactive has been created so you can use it how you want to use it. Browsing, searching, and bookmarking are all easy to do.

The advanced search function lets you search and filter by the criteria that matter to you most, such as location, size, strongest programs, Fiske ratings, or just a keyword.

WHAT MAKES FISKE’S COLLEGE RATINGS DIFFERENT?

Since 1982, the Fiske Guide to Colleges has been conducting in-depth evaluations and student satisfaction surveys on the top colleges and universities. Completely updated every year, it is the only guide to offer real feedback from students and schools, filtered through the honest assessment of Edward B. Fiske, former education editor of the New York Times and a pioneer in the study of higher education. The independent, advertisement-free annual guide has become a standard part of college admissions literature and is now the country’s bestselling college guide.
