As a high school senior, Aleks Olszewski was too lazy to visit many colleges, so she thumbed through books – such as â??351 Best Colleges,â? an 800-page compilation by the Princeton Review weighing more than two pounds – to learn the positive and negative aspects of the schools and read what their students had to say.
But, now a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, she cautions that may not be the best approach for all.
â??I’m happy with my decision,â? Olszewski said. â??But I know a lot of people who are transferring at semester or at the end of the year.â?
