2 stars (Did anyone fact-check this book?) - I just received this book. The second school profile I turned to (Stanford University) was completely botched.

What Election? Under Food: Best Campus Food Is It Food? There are about 3,500 colleges and universities in the United States. Selecting the 361 to feature here is a combination of science and art. At the top is certainly a set of schools like Harvard or Stanford that will be on any list. As you get down into the hundreds there is more choice. After a while geographic diversity, rounding out the variety eventually has to get down to a feeling that we want this one more than that one. You may disagree, ...
