COLLEGES OF DISTINCTION

Today's high school senior is faced with a college search that is pressure-filled and highly commercial in nature. A world of publications exists just to offer rankings for colleges, identifying so-called "top" schools.

Colleges of Distinction is a college guide with a unique approach. Instead of looking for the richest or the most famous schools, selected schools exhibit the four distinctions that make a college truly great: engaged students, great teaching, vibrant communities, and successful outcomes. These schools are not ranked, because every student has a different "number one college" based on their own individual needs and interests.

Colleges of Distinction is a complete guide for students entering college, and contains a wealth of information and hands-on materials to help students find their perfect college fit, including quizzes, checklists, college listings by region, and two-page comprehensive college profiles.
