The U.S. News "America's Best Colleges" guide consists of more than 1,400 colleges nationwide compared using 15 performance indicators from freshman retention to financial resources to peer assessment.
Many of the U.S. News rankings are online at www.usnews.com/colleges and in the September issue of U.S. News and World Report magazine.
The Princeton Review recommends Oswego State in the 2011 edition of its "The Best Northeastern Colleges" published Aug. 10. It was one of 218 colleges recommended.
"From hundreds of institutions we reviewed in each region, we selected these colleges and universities primarily for their excellent academic programs," said Robert Franek, Princeton Review's senior vice president and publisher. "We also took into account what students attending the institutions reported to us about their campus experiences at them on our student survey for this project."
Some student comments about Oswego in the book are: "excellent business program," "strong education program," "successful honors program" and "good study-abroad options." The college's professors "really care about what you do and want to help you in every way to make sure you do well."
