This year, four Cleveland–area schools have been included in Fiske Guide to Colleges.
Compiled by former New York Times education editor Edward B. Fiske, and including more than 300 schools from the United States, Canada, Ireland, and Great Britain, the Fiske Guide to Colleges 2015 (ISBN: 9781402260650; July 2014; $23.99 U.S.; College Guide/Reference; Trade Paper) is an indispensable source of information for college-bound students and their parents.
Cleveland–area schools featured in the 31st edition of the Fiske Guide to Colleges include:
Case Western Reserve
“Students sing its praises, especially since Case is less difficult in admission than other institutions of comparable quality and students can get an outstanding technical education with solid offerings in other areas” (pg. 120).
Hiram College
“Those looking for a school where anonymity will be ensured need not apply. People here are so close that they share an equivalent of the secret handshake” (pg. 315).
Oberlin College
“The college that invented nonconformity. As a Grinnell and Reed, Oberlin’s curriculum is less radical than its students. Oberlin is especially strong in the sciences, and its music conservatory is among the nation’s best. The annual Drag Ball is quintessential Oberlin” (pg. 516).
The College of Wooster
“Though not well-known to the general public, Wooster is renowned in academic circles around the world. Getting in is not difficult, but graduating takes work. Prides itself on turning above-average students into real scholars” (pg. 796).
The Fiske Guide to Colleges is America’s #1 bestselling college guide that includes a full description of each school, tips from current students about the ins and outs of their colleges, and Fiske’s exclusive academic, social, and quality-of-life ratings for each school.
