With the release of The Princeton Review's The 361 Best Colleges 2007, The Washington Times' Jennifer Harper writes an article reminding students that it's not all about getting into the Ivy League. According to The Princeton Review, Rice University ranked the highest in "quality of life," while University of Texas edged out University of Wisconsin to take top party school, and the U.S. Air Force Academy ranked #1 for "professors who make themselves accessible."
As the school year begins, new rankings and college guides seem to come out everyday, and it's important to remember that each list and guide has unique criteria that may or may not jibe with every student's criteria for picking a school. Therefore, always take these guides and "best lists" as important points of reference, but not as "the end all be all" when determining the school that's right for you.
