Since I'm still one of the BANNED and fondled, I'd appreciate it if someone can post this on the BANNEDwagon in response to Jim62 bitching and moaning about the Princeton Review rankings:
ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. (Aug. 18, 2006) — U.S.News & World Report has again rated St. Bonaventure University among the best college values in the nation.
St. Bonaventure placed 12th in the magazine’s annual “Great Schools, Great Prices” ranking for master’s-level universities and colleges in the North. The University also finished in the top 20 percent overall of the best northern regional universities, ranking 31st out of the 165 colleges and universities in the region.
The 572 institutions in the 2007 “Best Universities – Master’s” category, which provide a full range of undergraduate and master’s-level programs, are divided into four regions: North, South, Midwest and West. They are then ranked in tiers on criteria including peer assessment, retention, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, graduation rate and alumni giving.
The “Great Schools, Great Prices” ranking relates a school’s academic quality to the cost of attendance for a student receiving the average level of need-based financial aid. More than 70 percent of Bonaventure students received need-based aid in 2005, discounting a student’s total cost to attend the University by almost 40 percent.
“These rankings again reinforce the value of a degree from St. Bonaventure,” said University president Sr. Margaret Carney, O.S.F., S.T.D. “With all the exciting new construction projects going on here, from the spectacular renovation of Hickey Dining Hall that will greet returning students next week to the ongoing work on our new science center, I’m certain we’re on the path to becoming an even greater value.”
“America's Best Colleges,” produced annually by U.S.News & World Report, serves as a guidebook for college-bound students. A complete listing may be found on the magazine’s Web site (www.usnews.com).
