Note From a Disappointed Reader
Based on my personal experience with some of the schools, I felt this book was more a platform for schools to put forth an image, rather than a evaluation of what a student will actually experience in terms of having their character nurtured at a particular school. I would like to see more anecdotal information about the character-building qualities of a school, not just a list of programs a college managed to collect that look good on paper.How is the campus perceived by the surrounding community?Do students feel supported to continue or pressured to abandon a moral lifestyle? Are weekend activities heavily laced with alchohol? Have students found that their awareness of and involvement in the needs around them has increased.
I found more that I wanted to know in The Insider's Guide to the Colleges, 2003 (Yale Daily News Staff).This book wasn't about character building and doesn't necessarily include the schools a reader may want to know about, but you get more of the real story about character building at a school by reading what the Insider's Guide does and doesn't say.
Regretfully, I don't recommend this book. It only looks at the veneer of character building, the collection of programs a college has managed to assemble, rather than the nature of the actual character-nurturing environment.

Great book but I have my disagreements
This fine book profiles colleges and universities in 10 categories including schools that promote honesty, spiritual development, leadership, voluteerism etc. Also profiled are 50 college presidents who make a difference. The book also includes an honor role featuring the top 100 schools that foster character development. As expected, many of the schools are smaller, religiously affiliated schools, however, many of the top known, larger universities are also liberally profiled. I have a major quibble, however. Schools that have arguably run counter to good character development are included. An example is Yale University which refused to allow religious Jewish students to opt out of the mandatory requirement to reside in a dorm when these students were offended by other students who were running around in various states of undress in co-ed dorms and who were openly entertaining their sesual partners. Still, all in all a very helpful resource.

Product Description
High school students planning to go to college cite the Internet as the second most important resource available to them, after their guidance counselors, according to a survey by the Art & Science Group.
The Internet has had a profound effect on the way we do business, gather information, and communicate with one other. Consider the Web's groundbreaking impact on college exploration. Less than 15 years ago, high school students had to research and plan for college via snail mail, telephone calls to college officials, or through costly and time-consuming campus visits.
Today, students can use the Internet to find information about almost any college-related topic imaginable. They can use the Web to help choose a major; research admissions requirements; apply for scholarships; and tour colleges via online videos, photographs, and audio recordings. There are websites that feature student reviews of professors and schools that are brutally honest in their assessment. Students can even use the Web to apply to college! In short, there are literally thousands of college-related websites on the Web. Unfortunately, quantity doesn't always mean quality. Many college websites are merely advertisements for fee-based services or offer information that is outdated or too vague to be of use to students and educators.
To provide you with the most useful college resources on the Web, we have visited more than 2,000 websites to create College Exploration on the Internet: A Student and Counselor's Guide to More Than 685 Websites.
Using this book will help you save time, money, and avoid dated or incorrect information. The 685+ Web resources presented in College Exploration on the Internet are the most useful websites available today. They provide information on College admissions, Choosing a major, Campus visits, U.S. and Canadian college search tools, Scholarships, grants, loans, and other financial aid, Minority resources, Community colleges, Students with disabilities, Women's issues, Distance and online education, Internships, Study abroad opportunities, Religious colleges, Graduate school, Campus crime, alcohol abuse, and depression, Professor reviews, Accreditation, Fraternities and sororities, and Other postsecondary options including apprenticeships and military training.
College Exploration on the Internet has two main sections: College Resource Websites and Association Web Resources. The Quick Guide to Resources serves as a type of extended Table of Contents that will help you locate websites and resources on more than 145 college-related topics. This book also features a list of national and state associations for counselors, a list of state financial aid and college planning associations and websites, a glossary, a list of financial aid abbreviations, and career title and website indexes. ...

We used two official criterion to select majors to include in this book: 1) the major had to be fast-growing and offer good employment and salary prospects for students, and 2) the major had to be offered at less than 25 percent of colleges and universities in the United States. A third unofficial criterion was that the major had to capture our imagination in short it had to be fun and, hopefully, interesting to our readers. In addition to the aforementioned sections, They Teach That in College!? also features a school index, a schools by state index, and an association/organization index. What's New in the Second Edition? We have made many improvements and additions to the second edition of They Teach That in College!?

The Co-Author ignores this book in her class
I've taken Carolyn Seefer's online English course at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill California and although it's the text that Seefer co-authored and it is the required course textbook, it's not used in the course. In my opinion that's because it's so poorly organized.

Not the best organized
This is the grammar workbook chosen by the university for which I teach.The workbook combines exercises and explanations together.

The best advantage to this is the sections which allow the student to check his or her understanding.At the beginning of each section, about ten questions have the answers at the bottom of the page.Also, the unit review has answers printed for the student's reference.

One of the disadvantages is the organization.For instance, section 8 lists avoiding and correcting for double negatives as an objective.Unfortunately, double negatives are not covered there.In checking the index, double negatives are mentioned on page 128 in section 13.There, the reference is only a hotline query that states what a double negative is.

Another disadvantage is there are less exercises than in previous editions.The previous editions had "Proofreading Alerts," which I thought were very helpful in providing a more practical way to test comprehension.

This is a usable workbook, but it would not be my first choice.

College English
I first encountered this book as part of an online class requirement (Diablo Valley College, Business English-101).I find the book easy to read and use.It's layout is eye-catching and user-friendly.In fact, I recommend this book a buy for those needing to brush up on any college level English.... ...
