Getting my learning on

[cyrano]

Looking for scholarly advice. How would one, finding one's self in a new area, discover what the local schools are--specifically universities and colleges--and determine which of them have decent or good reputations regarding, say for instance, teaching History or Political Science?

Also? If I'm going to feel hung over then the least I could do is get drunk the night before. Maybe it was all the double eeps.

Back when I was looking at Ph.D. programs, my advisor had a big book of history programs, where he could look and find out what professors were at each school, and what their specialties were. Of course, the book turned out to be slightly out of date (the immigration historian had retired by the time I got to my school of choice), but I suspect that finding a book of this sort at a local library, plus some internet research, might serve you.

(Of course I have no title for said book. :) )
