a CD listing college details.

• Colleges that Change Lives: 40 Schools you should
know about even if you're not a straight 'A' student (USA).
YA-Pope
discusses 40 colleges, mostly in the Northeast, South, and Midwest. What makes
this book different from other guides is that it highlights schools that select
students who have a wide range of abilities, not necessarily the cream of the
crop academically, but who exhibit a desire to learn. The atmosphere at these
institutions is collaborative rather than competitive and they feature close interaction
between students and faculty. This new edition includes a revised group of colleges
and for the first time addresses the issues of home schooling, learning disabilities,
and single-sex education. Pope encourages students to be hard-nosed consumers
when visiting colleges, and shows how the college experience can enrich every
young person's life, whether they are "A," "B," or "C" students.
