Description
The Right Foot Guides are the ultimate college orientation handbooks -- each one an overview of life on a particular college campus. Students & administrators alike will find it indispensable: President Thomas Ehrlich called the IU book "a splendid job...an innovative & useful guide for students." "A liberating book," according to the Indiana Daily Student, "containing wisdom any new student can use to navigate the tedious IU runaround with ease." Each book takes a comprehensive, independent look at the sociological, political, cultural & economic factors that make the university tick, & translates it into practical prose that high schools will find as absorbing as IU Chancellor Herman B. Wells, who "went through the IU edition (cover to cover) &...learned a lot." The books are also ideal for high school libraries, & bookstores & public libraries serving families trying to make the most informed college decision possible. Subjects include the school's academic organization & intricacies of its bureaucracy; costs of living & studying; the campus' demographics; crime & safety; health care; employment opportunities, pre- & post-graduation; activities & local culture; transportation; housing; campus history, & more. Available for Indiana U. & the U. of Illinois; look for more schools in 1995. To order: Tall Order Press, P.O. Box 504, Bloomington, IN 47402, 812-335-8677.
