Got Milk?


College of the Ozarks has been named to the 2010 edition of The Princeton Review’s Best 371 Colleges, http://www.princetonreview.com/.

Only about 15% of America’s 2,500 four-year colleges and two Canadian colleges are profiled in the book, which is The Princeton Review's flagship annual college guide. It includes detailed profiles of the colleges with school rating scores in eight categories, plus ranking lists of top 20 schools in 62 categories based on The Princeton Review's surveys of students attending the colleges.

The 80-question survey asks students about their school’s academics, administration, campus life, student body and themselves. Ranking lists for this edition are based on surveys of 115,000 students.

College of the Ozarks ranked among the top 20 in several categories. The Princeton Review ranked C of O fourth in “Stone-Cold Sober Schools,” and seventh in “Town-Gown Relations are Great.” C of O was also listed in “Got Milk?,” “Most Conservative Students” and “Best College Theater.”

The profile also offers feedback from current students. One student survey participant defined the average C of O undergraduate as “well-rounded, extremely helpful, friendly, down to earth, and used to earning every penny they have.”

While much of the survey was student opinion, other categories explored such information as financial need, the number of extracurricular activities offered, the admissions process and even the work ethic.
