There’s no reason why students and their parents shouldn’t read the Princeton Review. Like many works of fiction (P.G. Wodehouse comes to mind) PR is written in a sprightly manner and filled with interesting characters, enough so that it’s far from being a complete waste of time — as long as it’s not taken seriously.” (03/30/06)
