•Insider tips on the best—and worst—departments, courses, and professors
•The statistics that colleges don’t want you to know

•A roadmap for getting a real education at any school, whether a huge state university or a tiny liberal arts college
•Essential financial information, including the extent of need-based financial aid and the average student-debt load of graduates
