Two press releases you should read. Does anyone know what is unique about Wabash College (besides being the Hoosierboy's Alma Mater)? Hint: my daughter did not go there.

1).Wabash College is one of the nation’s best institutions for undergraduate education, according to The Princeton Review. The New York-based education services company features the college in The Best 361 Colleges, the new 2006 edition of its annual "best colleges" guide.


Only about 15% of the four-year colleges in America and two Canadian colleges are in the book. It has two-page profiles on the schools and student survey-based ranking lists of top 20 colleges in the book in various categories.


"President Andy Ford's mantra of 'students first' comes through loud and clear in these rankings," says Steve Klein, dean of admissions at Wabash. "The Wabash community takes considerable pride in the attention it gives to undergraduates and their educational experience. If families are looking for a college with those values, they ought to listen to what our students are saying through the Princeton Review."

2).Wabash College is one of "America’s 25 Hottest Colleges" according to the 2006 edition of the Kaplan/Newsweek College Guide. The guide says, "This year's ‘Hottest Schools’ deserve individual recognition for their best qualities, such as specialty programs, state-of-the-art facilities or comprehensive financial-aid packages. Their shared attribute? All are creating buzz among students, a broad array of educators and admissions experts, and each is effectively preparing students for the complex world."


The popular college guide, prepared by Kaplan in conjunction with Newsweek, hits news stands August 22. In addition to descriptions of the 25 "Hottest Colleges," the guide features college planning tips and ideas on how best to select a college.


Wabash is also ranked 51st in U.S.News & World Report’s annual rankings of national liberal arts colleges.

Yeah but does it have an Eskimo Joes? How high is it rated by PLAYBOY as a party school? Do any of the Greek Girl houses require oral sex as part of the initiation and or independents invited to the initiation ceremony? Now thats what make a good place to go to college! hell, you can learn all the liberal arts you need on the internet if you really want to know-PARTY is why one goes to college, at least to under grad school.

it makes the Priceton review in the party school ranking as well, of course the College did not want to advertise that fact.

I am POSITIVE the oral sex is not part of ANY Greek initiation.
