| 5. |  | Fiske Guide to Colleges 2010, 26E from Sourcebooks, Inc. Price: $15.12 Customer Review:  while the book obviously covers all major colleges and universities, do not expect details on lesser known (even when quite large) ones. Separate entry on Eastern Carolina U. for example, even with 10K+ students? sorry, about one sentence on it as if it was exactly the same as NC State. |
