This is the second book in the California Guide to Colleges ^TM series published by Agile Guidebooks. The California Guide to East Coast Colleges, in print since 2003, is a combination travel guide and college guide specifically designed for California high school students and their parents. Written by a Bay Area parent, the book facilitates the all important college visit process by providing readers with trip planning information, comprehensive travel directions, and in-depth college data for thirty-five top-rated East Coast colleges. It is the only book of its kind on the market today.

The Quick Guide to California Colleges, published in 2004, is a companion piece to our first book. Like the title suggests, it is a quick and easy guide to a short list of California colleges, and it is intended for readers who seek a handy reference to some of the state's most popular undergraduate destinations. This book facilitates the college visit process by providing readers with travel directions and campus information for thirty-five California colleges, and it fills an important need for a college guidebook that features California colleges exclusively. No matter where you live, in California or out of state, you will find this book to be a useful and compelling read.
