one of the most practical and insightful college selection resources today."

components of a student’s educational experience. We feel fortunate to be considered with
other colleges that emphasize consciousness about and responsibility for the future"
R. Shaw Jr., Dean of Admissions, Yale U.

"So many students are being directed into corporate and business life which is soulless and will
not serve their future. This extremely important book, however, could help them assist in saving the Planet."
Dr. Helen Caldicott

"Harnesses the idealism of today's college bound youth, and points them to relevant, value-based education,
often filled with service programs - whether in local communities or abroad, and then tops it off with
practical yet meaningful career-oriented studies!"
Youth Service America

"Targets those students who are dissatisfied with the prospects of a traditional, passive,
and one-dimensional approach to higher education. Interesting, informative and well-written,
this book can make a difference for us all."
Journal of College Admission, National Association of College Admission Counselors

"Our nation is fortunate that so many of its youth seek to contribute to a more just and
sustainable future. The institutions profiled within this book offer academic preparation that enables students 
to promote social justice and environmental protection. And the guide is not only idealistic, but also
pragmatically career-oriented so that students can go on to make a difference in the context of a decent job."
Rick Clugston, Center for Respect of Life & Environment

It is the college guide for idealistic students, and fills a tremendous need"

of schools offering a rich, empowering and relevant education."

"An excellent resource. It can help students find institutions that will deepen both their understanding
of human problem-solving and their social commitment to a better world, and help ensure
that they make the most of their college education."
Tim Stanton, Haas Center For Public Service, Stanford University

"Oil spills, the vanishing rain forests, and the starving children in Rwanda all made you want to throw
out your homework and pitch in. But first you had to finish high school. Now it's time for college, and
with this guide's help in finding socially aware colleges, you may actually get that chance to help save the world."
Detroit Free Press

"Until I read this guide, I had no interest in going to college. Now I've picked out a
school which I am actually eager to attend."

"As a parent, I am grateful for this book, and urge all concerned parents to buy a copy.
This book changes lives. I bought five more copies for my son's classmates."
Julie Palmer, CA

"Like no other resource on the market. The colleges in the guide include the schools of choice for most
of the young people with whom I have worked and is particularly strong for students who seek to be
involved in high quality community service, who are creative and/or who do not look forward to four
years of listening to professors lecture. As a college counselor, Making A Difference is my best reference.
I have directed over three-hundred young people to colleges in the Guide and have found the
schools remarkably responsive to their students needs. When I send a student to one of these colleges,
I know s/he will have a life-affecting and satisfying collegiate experience."
Nicole Shepherd-Boothman, Director, City Year, R.I.

“This guide is very much in line with our mission of idealism. There is no better way to
"be the change you wish to see in the world" than to be armed with a values-based education and
to surround oneself at a college campus whose intellectual environment, curriculum,
and programmatic activities cultivate that.”
City Year Boston

“This guide is very difficult to rave about in just a few words. It makes me want to go back to college!"
Subud Youth

"Until the emergence of Making A Difference College Guide, high school students who care about the
world blindly faced a bewildering array of questionable college options, but not anymore. Even thumbing
through this book, you'll wonder how any intelligent student, parent, or guidance counselor could do without it."
Green Teacher Magazine

“At it’s best, a college education helps students acquire the knowledge, skills and dispositions to change
the world, to make it a better place. The institutions profiled in this book are among the best at helping
students make this kind of difference. Making A Difference College Guide is a valuable resource.”
Vito Perrone, Former Director, Teacher Education Program, Harvard

“Making A Difference College Guide is distinctive in that its criteria focus on what should be the
fundamental purpose of our campuses: launching students, with heart and mind, to enhance life for present
and future generations. The Guide's value-centered approach to college selection fulfills a much needed demand."
Doug Orr, Former President, Warren Wilson College

“I use this terrific tome constantly in my work at the Positive Futures Network. I connect with teachers
and students to deliver inspiring news, and work to support their active engagement in shaping
alternatives to current social, economic, and environmental ills. Your guide is an incredible resource --
it helps me connect with campuses and programs that emphasize creating the better world we all desire.
Thank you again for this guide and the good green energy you bring to the world.”
Kim Corrigan, YES! Magazine

family-like structure and wonderful professors who enjoy their occupation. Ms. Weinstein's book
led me to the path of a higher education."

never known about otherwise. Our children are inspired, and as parents, we are most grateful.”

myself trying to track down in the library."
