A number of Wisconsin universities and colleges are prominently featured in the 2009 version of Princeton Review’s “Best Colleges” guidebook.
“The Best 368 Colleges,” which goes on sale Tuesday, used 120,000 student surveys to rank the country’s colleges in 62 categories.
Although there’s been considerable griping about rising tuition the last few years, UW-Madison students evidently still think they are getting pretty good bang for their buck. The university received a top 10 ranking in the category of “Best Value Public Colleges.”
UW-Madison did not crack the top 20 party schools list, but did score particularly well in categories involving alcohol, ranking sixth overall in the “Lots of Beer” category and ninth for having “Lots of Liquor.”
