College shopping made easy!

Book Excerpts


Campus Pursuit:
Making the Most of Your Visit and Interview

10th Edition
By G. Gary Ripple, Ph.D.


"You can't buy shoes through the mail, and so it is with colleges," warns Gary Ripple. "There is just no way to shop for a four year, $140,000 college education by looking at catalogues (or web sites) produced by institutions themselves...creative photographers can make any campus look like the Taj Mahal." Ripple encourages students to visit colleges in person before making a final choice. He discusses what to look for during these visits and how to survive the interview, including:

  • What kinds of questions are asked.
  • How to dress appropriately and use body language effectively.
  • What to ask the interviewer.

Dr. Ripple even lets students know what the admission committee might say about them when the interview is over!
