He is a regular contributor to the International Herald-Tribune. In addition to the New York Times, his articles and book reviews have appeared in Atlantic Monthly, Chronicle of Higher Education, Los Angeles Times, and other national publications.A resident of Durham, North Carolina, Fiske serves on a number of boards of non-profit organizations working for access to college and international understanding.

"The best college guide you can buy."―USA Today

Every college and university has a story, and no one tells those stories like former New York Times education editor Edward B. Fiske. That's why, for 35 years, the Fiske Guide to Colleges has been the leading guide to 320+ four-year schools, including quotes from real students and information you won't find on college websites.

Helpful, honest, and straightforward, the Fiske Guide to Colleges delivers an insider's look at what it's really like to be a student at the "best and most interesting" schools in the United States, plus Canada, Great Britain, and Ireland―so you can find the best fits for you.

In addition to detailed and candid stories on each school, you will find:

A self-quiz to help you understand what you are really looking for in a college
Lists of strong programs and popular majors at each college
"Overlap" listings to help you expand your options
Indexes that break down schools by state, price, and average debt
Exclusive academic, social, and quality-of-life ratings
All the basics, including financial aid stats, SAT/ACT scores, and acceptance rates

Plus a special section highlighting the 20 public and private Best Buy schools―colleges that provide the best educational value

Must Have for my Senior! Helpful and gives a more realistic sense of the profiled campuses.No other college prep product beats it It is a lifesaver if you are going to college. Great coverage of the great colleges. Absolute must-have if you have kids who are gearing up for college. I particularly like the comparable colleges at the end of each college description.Best college guide I've used (and we're on the third child!) Have used this during the college process for my two oldest and about to use for our third. Best college guide I've seen (and I've looked through a number). Gives all the stats you'd expect but then goes on to give more holistic reviews of each school (usually 2-3 pages), covering everything from the ambience of the place to the quality of professors to the surrounding area to the dorms to the facilities to the social life and more. All to say, you get a real sense of each school and its distinctive qualities, both visceral and practical. Have given it to friends going through the process for the first time and it is the first book I recommend, hands down.
