Book Reviews of The Advocate College Guide for LGBT Students
Book Review: Extremely Helpful. A Very Valuable Guide!
Summary: 5 Stars
This guide was invaluable as our son searched for a school he knew he would be welcome in. We used various guides to narrow and refine our search for a school. This guide definitely played a significant role in our son's choice of schools, and he was very pleased to end up being admitted to the Advocate College Guide's #1 rated school: the University of Pennsylvania.
