"This volume from the Teen Decisions series offers many points of view within chapters exploring four broad topics: surviving high school, selecting the right college, getting into college, and choosing an alternative to four-year college...A few charts, graphs, and cartoons are scattered through the text, and lists of recommended organizations, Web sites, and books are appended. Since the articles are chosen to present a variety of issues confronting a wide range of students, some are geared to a limited audience.

From Booklist:

Gr. 9-12. This volume from the Teen Decisions series offers many points of view within chapters exploring four broad topics: surviving high school, selecting the right college, getting into college, and choosing an alternative to four-year college. Each chapter includes five or six articles reprinted from newspapers, magazines, and books that focus on more limited subjects such as senioritis, women's colleges, guidance counselors, and training through vocational schools and apprenticeships. Two subjects--whether most students should attend college and whether the military offers a valuable path to higher education-- are presented as points of contention, with arguments from opposing viewpoints. A few charts, graphs, and cartoons are scattered through the text, and lists of recommended organizations, Web sites, and books are appended. Since the articles are chosen to present a variety of issues confronting a wide range of students, some are geared to a limited audience. However, most students will find something interesting or helpful. Carolyn Phelan
