The 2013 revised and updated Fiske Guide to Colleges includes Clark University among the list of  <\/em><\/strong>“best and most interesting of the more than 2,200 four-year colleges in the United States.”<\/p>\n

The Fiske Guide is compiled by Edward B. Fiske, who served for 17 years as education editor of the New York Times.  Now a leading independent voice in college admissions, Fiske has published this popular annual guide to provide a selective, subjective, and systematic look at 300+ colleges and universities in the U.S., Canada, and Great Britain.<\/p>\n

The guide covers a range of topics including academic quality, student body, social life, financial aid, campus setting, housing, food, and extracurricular activities.<\/p>\n

Although the guide incorrectly lists the University’s founding date as 1897, not 1887<\/em>, it correctly states that Clark “began as an all-graduate school based on a German model, excelling in disciplines including psychology and geography, and now welcomes undergraduates of all backgrounds and interests with small classes and no shortage of faculty attention.”<\/p>\n

Clark’s listing, located on page 151, quotes a junior at the school as saying, “At Clark, you have to be prepared to be open-minded and accepting since there are so many different types of people and ideas.”<\/p>\n

The Fiske Guide to Colleges <\/em><\/strong>is available as an iPad app on iTunes and a Web app on CollegeCountdown.com.  <\/em><\/p>\n
