The Princeton Review presented the list of the Top Party Schools among many university rankings. Once again, my college made the Top 10 list of biggest party schools. It brings a tear to my eye. Like a proud mamma watchin' her baby do his first keg stand.

The Princeton Review green college ratings appear in new 2009 editions of The Princeton Review's Annual College Guides and website profiles of schools. The Green ratings are based on environmental practices, policies and course offerings. The Princeton Review's Green Rating Honor Roll salutes 11 colleges receiving green ratings of 99 (highest score).

Princeton Review ranks the 368 bast colleges. The ranking of colleges and universities are also based on how green they are. The Princeton Review is based on 120,000 student surveys. 62 Ranking lists report top 20 colleges in categories from Profs to Food to Financial Aid. The green raking of the Princeton Review is the media's attention.

Having gone through the college selection process four times in recent years with my two daughters (yup, they both transferred from public state universities to private schools -- oddly both of them run by Jesuits), I can tell you that college's love the rankings put out by various guides.
