The ISA students were asked to research areas of study that interested them in order to help them in the college application process. 

Too often, the college guides offer confusing and irrelevant information for those trying to find the school that will best fit their needs, focusing on demographics and cost rather than on the actual nature and quality of the instruction available at the school.  In attempt to remedy this problem, the students were asked to compare and contrast three departments at three different schools on a set of criteria that may be more useful in making an informed decision about college.  The results are below, listed by student, area of interest, and the schools compared.  We hope that these comparisons will be of use to you.
