 2006 Best-Value Colleges - MSN Encarta
An academically rigorous college that is also strongly rooted in Christian values, Roberts Wesleyan offers individual counseling for students and their parents to assist them through the financial aid process.
Hillsdale College emphasizes what is old and traditional--hence its intensive core requirements, which guarantee that each student is exposed to major themes in Western thought.

 Swarthmore professor's essay: "Could college cost less?" - College Discussion
Swarthmore is one of the most selective colleges in the country, with a huge private endowment--and, I would imagine that the endowment has been growing at a healthy rate in recent years, assuming their investment managers have been able to keep returns on a par with those of other college inverstment managers.
The same parents who lament college costs, however, can be found panning the housing facilities at one college for their shabbiness and lauding those at another for the frills that were not available only a couple of decades ago.
A college with a small endowment and limited alumni giving is very much like that parent co-op daycare center that I was describing, in the sense that total tuition collected must essentially cover total costs, because other sources of revenue are negligible, and because budgets have to balance.

 Easily Distracted
These were never the people who were going to consider all the options, look at all the information, face the hard truth of numbers and data, prepare alternative plans, make prudence a rule of their decision-making.
Lots of people have observed that bloggers give away the same goods that journalists are accustomed to making their living off of, and explained the occasional prickliness of mainstream journalists towards weblogs in those terms.
People with that kind of tunnel vision do tend to be a bit surprised when they take a look around them and realize that the world has in fact gone to hell in part because all sorts of folks went off into their own private activist Idaho and did whatever they thought was righteous.

Last week we offered our picks for the 10 greatest college football teams of all time, so now we turn our attention to the worst.
We've compiled our list of the 10 worst college football teams below, and our readers' choices for the worst college football teams.
Swarthmore had been playing football for 122 years, but despite the occasional win and occasional interest on the part of students, school administrators decided they had enough, and made a controversial decision to end the program after the 2000 season.

 Why War? Targeting Diebold with Electronic Civil Disobedience   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
College policy is now that any links to why-war.com with the intention of providing information about Diebold will result in termination of that student’s Internet connection.
Swarthmore College, unfortunately, is not willing to take a strong stand against Diebold, and is systematically disabling the network access of any student who hosts the files.
Yet Swarthmore is choosing to act counter to the spirit of both its traditions and rules, the latter of which requires that students be given three days to take down work challenged as an infringement of copyright.

However, Swarthmore gave me the most important component, the intellectual courage to work in the gap between Science and Art.

Ask any random student, professor or administrator at Swarthmore College and they'll confirm that the majority of those on campus simply didn't support the American invasion of Iraq, which is not unusual for a university with such strong Quaker and pacifist roots.
Timothy Burke, a Swarthmore history professor who helped get the broadcast off the ground in January 2005, said that while some members of the faculty would like to see the students pursue more investigative stories, he's fine with relying on softer news features.
The goal of the project, the administrator went on, is to allow students to use their research and analytical skills to speak to people whose lives are defined by the biggest issue of the day.

 Swarthmore Democrats Showing Other Dems How to Do It | Young Philly Politics
With groups like Drinking Liberally, people are finally understanding that not only is it OK to be liberal, it is OK to do so while having a beer, having fun, etc. This is the vein that that Swarthmore Dems are trying to tap into.
It needs to emphasize that we are Swarthmore students first and messengers of the party second; that we care about the same progressive issues as our fellow students, even those ignored by the national party.
Rethinking college organizing; renewing the Democratic message; trying new ideas, and making activism fun again: these are the guiding principles that have turned the Swarthmore Democrats from a group of a few committed students into the largest progressive organization on campus in three short years.

It is reported that every one of the colleges listed in the various subpages of this FAQ has offered admission to at least one "home schooled" applicant (who may or may not have enrolled there).
Colleges known to recruit homeschoolers, those that describe admission procedures for home-schooled applicants in their application materials, or those whose admission officers indicate that they would admit homeschooled applicants are marked as "[yes]." As the reconfirmation process continues, the "!!" mark will take precedence over any other applicable mark describing a school's admission of homeschoolers.
One Bible college admission officer told me that homeschoolers are welcomed by her school, but that applicants without a high school diploma are required to take the GED exam.

 Columbia College Today
For all its popularity, CC did not satisfy the hunger for general education at the College or offset the dangers of a curriculum still full of narrowly practical and specialized courses.
Well into 1936, the College still had hoped to fashion a single, two-year course that would cover literature and the arts from the ancient world through the 20th century, but practical problems — especially in the musical component — eventually obliged the College to require only the first year.
