Unigo Unveils Their First-Ever College Rankings
More than 30,000 current college students voted for the "Top 10 for '10"
NEW YORK, Aug. 24 -- Unigo, the web's largest resource for student-written college reviews, today revealed their first-ever college rankings, the Top 10 for '10. More than 30,000 current college students from across the country contributed to the rankings, which name the top ten schools in ten unique categories. The lists represent a wide variety of institutions, and offer a more nuanced (and irreverent) look at their individual attributes.
The Top 10 for '10 include: "The New Ivies," the top 10 schools that are the next generation of excellence; "Never Lock Your Doors," the top 10 safest schools; "Life is But a Game," the top 10 schools where sports rule; and "No Last Call," the top 10 party schools. The full list of categories and schools is available at http://www.unigo.com/articles/top_10_in_2010.
Unigo surveyed students at 225 colleges for their opinions about their own schools and peer institutions. With more than 30,000 votes cast, the results were vetted by Unigo's editorial staff and educational advisory board to ensure accuracy. For each school on each list, current students sent in photos and supporting quotes, offering on-the-ground insights into why their school made the Top 10 for '10.
"Our goal with these rankings was to present high school students and parents with interesting, authentic insights into the experiences at these institutions as they begin their college research," said Unigo's CEO, Jordan Goldman. "Unigo is one of the world's largest resources for college information created by current college students, offering information you can't find anywhere else. These rankings were a natural fit."
More details, and the full rankings, are available at http://www.Unigo.com. The ten lists, with their supporting materials, will be rolled out on the site one per day, from August 25 through September 3.
