NSSE provides free copies of its pocket guide, "College. What you need to know before you go." Created as part of an ongoing public awareness campaign to refocus the national conversation about what constitutes quality in the college experience, the guide lists a number of qualities that research over the last 30 years has shown to be positively related to high levels of student learning and development during college.
Who Needs Harvard?
The pressure on smart kids to get into top schools has never been higher … but the differences between these schools and the next tier, like those featured in Loren Pope’s Colleges That Change Lives, have never been smaller, according to Gregg Easterbrook, contributing editor of The Atlantic. This article appeared in the October 2004 (Annual College Guide) issue of The Atlantic.
