(Source: University of Vermont)Tired of college guides? Didn't think so.



Let's take a peek at Newsweek. Together with Kaplan, the magazine offers advice on college admissions, with articles on applying early, coping with wait lists, getting the most out of college tours, legacy preferences, application essays, and transfer admissions. You'll also find fun pieces such as "America's 25 Hot Schools" and "Not All Courses are Serious Business."

For a true inside look at the admissions process, check out this Q&A with Penn's dean of admissions. And stay tuned for similar conversations with reps from Yale and the University of California.

Finally, those about to embark on their college careers (next week!) should browse the section on campus life, which features articles on roommate selection, alcohol abuse, protecting computer data, and everyone's favorite topic, parking on campus.

Enjoy.
