Are you looking for a green college? Do you care about the environment, peace or social change? Wondering just what makes a college really green? Do you want a college where you will feel at home, that shares your values and gives you the knowledge and tools to make a real difference? Searching for a college that walks it's talk with a relevant, empowering education and sustainable practices? With Making A Difference Colleges, you can discover exceptional colleges which offer the education you seek. Unlike other recent resources, we do not believe that having green buildings and a recycling program makes a college truly green. The Guide's focus is first on education: relevant majors, college ethos, the style of teaching, and how you will use this education in the world. Secondarily, other factors include green buildings, organic gardens, locally sourced food, recycling, careers of graduates, service-learning programs, types of study abroad programs....

Making A Difference Colleges is the authoritative and original guide to Green and Socially Responsible Colleges. Join the tens of thousands of caring students who, since 1992, have used "Making A Difference" to easily find these distinctive colleges, and then use your education to make a real difference. Helping concerned young people become effective change agents is the sole reason I have been publishing this book for over 15 years. It is my passion and purpose.

The Guide has been proudly endorsed by Yale, Stanford, and Swarthmore; by green colleges such as Warren Wilson and Northland; by Dr. Helen Caldicott, Julia Butterfly Hill, and the late David Brower; by Youth Service America and Green Teacher Magazine....
