New College is a very specific kind of school that offers a small, private school feel at a state college price. It is an uncommon place and could be just the right place for the right student.
I don't think it's strange that they dropped off,
It doesn't stop at technology. Schools are launching capital campaigns to make sure they have the same, if not better facilities than the schools that they normally compete with.
We hope it will help college applicants and their parents decide which college is best for them.
Schools are trying to compete for those students, not just on academics alone, but the whole package they can offer those students. They are competing on a much different scale then they were 10 years ago.
The main factor in selection of schools for 'The Best 361 Colleges' book was our high regard for their academic programs.
