Personal Review: Colleges That Change Lives: 40 Schools You
Should Know About Even If Youre Not a Straight-A Student by
Loren Pope
It is so difficult not to get trapped into the "name-dropping" college game.
This book not only introduces you to 40 colleges you may not have heard
of, it helps you realize that looking at any college with fresh eyes is the key
to the application process. By discussing the salient points that make each
listed college noteworthy, Pope helps to outline experiences we may have
never considered that would make a college great.
Each student has a unique learning style and personality. Pope futher
delves into why these mostly smaller colleges can tap into what each
student needs, to help them achieve their best during the college
experience. With college costs escalating rapidly, choosing a college that
will help each student flourish becomes even more critical. This book will
help parents and students more effectively outline what they need to find in
a college.
Further, I was impressed that his list included many different types of
colleges - from one whose courses consist only of classic books, to those
that cater to the outdoor student - which helped me to see that any college
bound student should be able to find a college that fits.
I would highly recommend this book to any high school student and their
parents.
