Rose-Hulman

July 13, 2010

Rose-Hulman again featured in college resource guide

TERRE HAUTE — The first of the resource guides for college-bound students and their parents has hit bookshelves, and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is once again featured in The Fiske Guide to Colleges.

Written by former New York Times Education Editor Edward B. Fiske, the guide helps students make sense of the college admissions and selection process, and provides insight into the nation’s best and most interesting colleges and universities. The 2011 edition features in-depth profiles of more than 300 institutions — including Rose-Hulman.

Readers will discover Rose-Hulman’s real personality, based on a broad range of subjects including student body, academics, social life and financial aid.

The Fiske Guide to Colleges mirrors a process familiar to any college-bound student and his or her family. If you are wondering whether to consider a particular college, it is logical to seek out friends or acquaintances who go there and ask them to tell you about their experiences. Fiske and his team have done exactly that — but on a far broader and more systematic basis than any individual or family could do alone.

In addition to the candid essays on each school, readers will find:

  • Lists of the strongest majors and programs at each college
  • Vital information on how to apply, including admissions and financial aid deadlines and required tests
  • Selectivity statistics and SAT/ACT scores
  • All the basics, including e-mail addresses and university websites

The publication is fiercely independent, according to Fiske. The guide accepts no consulting, advertising or other fees from colleges and has no outside relationship with colleges working on its behalf. The Fiske Guide’s only goal is to help future students select the best colleges to reach their own goals, according to Carrie Gellin of Sourcebooks, Inc. publishers.

Fiske served for 17 years as Education Editor of the New York Times, during which time he realized that college-bound students and their families needed better information on which to base their educational choices. He wrote The Fiske Guide to Colleges to help them. For more information, visit www.sourcebookscollege.com/ and http://fiskeguide.com/.
