Rankings & Grades Picking a college is hard, but we’re here to help. The lists at the beginning of this book group 200 schools in a variety of categories. Interested in location, size, or selectivity? Check the lists. Curious about which schools have the best dining, dorms, or local atmosphere? We rank those, too. Cross-compare between the different lists to find the schools that match all of your needs.  Individual School Profiles Dive into our school-specific sections and find out why those colleges you have your eye on scored well in one category and poor in another. Just like the original College Prowler guidebooks, each school’s section is student-written and provides its own unique dialogue to help you discover if the college is right for you.
