Newsweek College Rankings 2011
Newsweek magazine and the website The Daily Beast have just released the 2011 College Rankings. For the second straight year, Newsweek assessed the nation's colleges and listed the top 25 in categories ranging from most service-oriented to best weather.
University of Georgia landed spots in four of the 25 categories, and doubled its placement on the rankings in 2011, moving from two in 2010. The University made the top 10 in two categories namely: Most Beautiful (No. 8) and Healthiest (No. 10). UGA also placed 12th in the category 'Future Politicians'. In the ranking of cheapest universities, UGA was rated 19th. Institutions were first ranked according to tuition. Then Newsweek considered student financial aid. For UGA, in-state tuition at the time of the rankings rounded out to $18,000 a year, and 93 percent of students received financial aid.
The University of Mary Washington is placed in the top 25 on a list of “best food” at colleges and universities, rated at number 19, with a “best campus dining” score of 5.3 out of 7. Other Virginia schools on the list include Virginia Tech and James Madison University.
