Colleges That Change Lives is a college educational guide, originally by longtime student advocate and former New York Times education editor Loren Pope. It was first published in 1996, with a second edition in 2000, and a third edition in 2006. It concerns college admissions in the United States.
The third edition profiles 40 choices for liberal arts colleges that, according to Pope, offer as much, if not more, than Ivy League schools: "The phrase 'Ivy League education' is an oxymoron when compared to the benefactions to mind and soul the colleges in this book bestow. Not only are they better, but they want you, and you will love them for making a new and better you. Your satisfaction will be lifelong."

Famous quotes containing the words colleges, change and/or lives:
“The fetish of the great university, of expensive colleges for young women, is too often simply a fetish. It is not based on a genuine desire for learning. Education today need not be sought at any great distance. It is largely compounded of two things, of a certain snobbishness on the part of parents, and of escape from home on the part of youth. And to those who must earn quickly it is often sheer waste of time. Very few colleges prepare their students for any special work.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
“I’m like a pretty girl: I change my frock; I change my hat—I am a different girl.”
—Michael Powell. Captain Lansdorff (Peter Finch)
“The misdeeds of ordinary men can be buried with them, and their lives described in half-truths that are really half-lies. But not a public man. Particularly not this one.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
