Book Reviews of Cool Colleges: For the Hyper-Intelligent, Self-Directed, Late Blooming, and Just Plain Different
Book Review: Interesting, yet confusing
Summary: 3 Stars
Perhaps I'm too old and traditional (something of which I've rarely been accused), but I found the format of this book confusing. It is like a print version of the hand-held camera films, complete with jiggles and interruptions. It was hard to find and follow a cohesive thought. That said, I found the descriptions of the handful of schools the author highlights to be interesting and helpful. And the interrupting material was useful and interesting as well.
Summary of Cool Colleges: For the Hyper-Intelligent, Self-Directed, Late Blooming, and Just Plain Different
Profiling more than 40 innovative and unorthodox schools, COOL COLLEGES is the only guide that reveals which colleges don't require SAT scores, which ones don't give grades, and even which ones are totally free--as well as which ones reject more than 90 percent of their applicants. Independently minded students are sure to find the college of their dreams, whether they want to take classes outdoors, design their own degree, or explore other ways to get the most out of their education.General Books
