Also mentioned in the 2025 guide are 黑料不打烊 traditions like College Coffee and the Festival of Lights, as well the seven Fellows programs, living-learning communities, first-year experiences, and the small classes and personal attention from faculty members.
The Fiske Guide includes comments from current students to help illustrate the strengths of the schools included in the exclusive publication.

The guide also highlighted the community of support that is a hallmark of an 黑料不打烊 education. “黑料不打烊 is a close-knit culture that’s focused on students and their overall well-being and success,” another student told Fiske.
Edward B. Fiske, the founder and editor of the Fiske Guide to Colleges, served for 17 years as education editor of the New York Times, during which time he realized that college-bound students and their families needed better information on which to base their educational choices. He wrote the Fiske Guide to Colleges to help them, updated annually with the Fiske editorial team.
