The book's website has this to say about the about the author:

"The sum of his experience led Mr. Pope to believe that the small college, dedicated to liberal arts and sciences education, is not just the wisest and most sensible choice, but also the most practical in a world where tomorrow’s jobs don’t even exist today. Colleges That Change Lives (Penguin, 2000) profiles his top 40 choices—schools that he claims will do as much as, and perhaps even more than, any name-brand schools to fully educate students and to give them rich, full lives."

If these schools have such an impact on young lives, we think the neighborhoods around campus and their college towns are well worth checking out. See the list at left...
