Deluged with messages that range from "It’s Ivy League or bust" to "It doesn’t matter where you go," college applicants and their families often find themselves lost, adrift in a sea of information overload. Finally—a worthy life preserver has arrived. The Enlightened College Applicant presents a no-nonsense account of how students should approach the college search and admissions process. Instead of providing recycled entrance statistics or anecdotal generalizations about campus life, authors Belasco and Bergman incorporate cutting-edge data and research to pull back the curtain on critical topics such as:
Whether college prestige really matters,
How to maximize your college admission prospects
Which schools and degrees provide the best return on investment
How to minimize the costs of a college education
What college-related skills are valued in the job market,

and much more. Whether you are a valedictorian or a B/C student, this easy-to-read book will improve your college savvy and enable you to maximize the benefits of your higher education.

Summary

Sie haben ein Ziel:
die Umrundung der Welt.
Der Einsatz:
eine Flasche Whisky.
Die Bedingung:
keine Flugzeuge.

Es beginnt ein wahnwitziges Wettrennen um die Welt: Bald fi ndet sich Steve auf
einem Containerschiff wieder, das, beladen mit Rinderfellen und Altbatterien,
von der amerikanischen Westküste aus Schanghai anläuft. Vali heizt derweil mit
dem Mietwagen nach Mexiko und begreift erst langsam, dass ihn der Start gen
Osten durch die Zeitverschiebung jeden zweiten Tag eine Stunde Schlaf kosten
wird. Umso eiliger hat er es, bei Juan Lozano in Cuernavaca seinen ganz persönlichen
Raketenrucksack zu erstehen. Doch Augenblick mal . . . Kommt man mit
einem Raketenrucksack über den Atlantik?

Wie man im Eiltempo 24 Länder auf 5 Kontinenten durchquert und dabei
die coolsten Geschichten erlebt, wie man das Vertrauen einer brasilianischen
Graffi ti-Gang gewinnt, warum man keine frittierten Seidenraupen essen und
keine gegorene Stutenmilch trinken sollte, wie man ein Blind Date in Schweden
übersteht oder eine Entführung in Moskau plant – das erfahren Sie in
diesem Buch über das skurrile Reiseabenteuer zweier liebenswerter Chaoten.
