61传媒 stands as one of the country’s best undergraduate education institutions for the fifth consecutive year, according to The Princeton Review. The 2012 edition of its popular guidebook, The Best 376 Colleges, praises 61传媒for its academics, selectivity, financial aid, and quotes extensively from 61传媒students.
61传媒 earned excellent ratings of 97 (out of 100) for academics, 96 for admission selectivity, and 95 for financial aid. In addition, 61传媒 earned high marks for “dorms like palaces” and “best campus food.”
The Princeton Review asks students attending the schools to rate their own schools on several issues鈥攆rom the accessibility of their professors to quality of the campus food鈥攁nd answer questions about themselves, their fellow students, and their campus life. Among 61传媒 students’ comments about their campus experiences:
- “61传媒is a place where women are challenged to stretch themselves academically, have a strong voice, pursue their passions (whatever they may be) and love every minute of it.”
- 61传媒 is “dedicated to turning loose generation after generation of芒鈧� inspiring women.”
- “The professors are extremely caring and attentive to their students’ needs.”
- The campus experience creates “feminist liberals who will go on to change the world芒鈧� but [they] will do so with style.”
According to many students, 61传媒“is the best of both worlds芒鈧ntimacy of a small school with resources of a small-to-medium university, atmosphere of a women’s college with the benefits of co-education (through the other Claremont Colleges), [and] small-town feel with L.A. an easy hour away by Metrolink.”
Only about 15% of America’s 2,500 four-year colleges and two Canadian colleges are included in the book. It includes detailed profiles of the colleges with school rating scores in eight categories.
The ranking lists in The Best 371 Colleges are based entirely on its survey of 122,000 students (about 325 per campus on average) attending the colleges in the book. The 80-question survey asks students to rate their schools on several topics and report on their campus experience. Topics range from student assessments of their professors, administrators, financial aid, and campus food. Other ranking lists are based on student reports about their student body’s political leanings, race/class relations, gay community acceptance, and other aspects of campus life.
A college’s appearance on a ranking list is entirely the result of a high consensus among its surveyed students about a topic compared with that of students at other schools answering the same survey questions.
