Title: Real Student Opinions? Try Again
Product review: While the authors of this book might claim to be providing the "real" opinions of students at various colleges and universities they are in fact making great and often creative use of their "edit" function. Many "statements by students" are printed entirely out of context and most passages appear to have been selected by the authors because of their humor and sarcasam, not because they offer any real insight. How do I know? My school review was accepted then chopped up to feature exclusively tongue-and-cheek (and simply smart ass) sound bites that represent only a small portion of my opinion of the college. This book does give SOME insight that the admission offices of the US are unlikely to provide but buyers should be aware that the interviews selected were chosen to be more humerous than useful and more "hip" than thoughtful.
