My alma mater is the best! (err…159th best)
Forbes just ranked Goshen College, where I spent my geeky college days (college group housing photo to the right, see if you can spot geeky activist Eric) playing frisbee, trying to change the world by being an activist without ever leaving my one-square-mile home, breaking into buildings and playing with computers (Counter Strike all night, anyone?), the 159th best college in the nation. GC beat out Purdue, IU, Hope College, USC, and more.
Quote from President Jim Brenneman:
“Outside rankings have their limitations, but they are part of being accountable so it’s satisfying to know that Goshen College stacks up well against peer private colleges as well as public universities that are much larger than Goshen,” Brenneman said. “I believe this high ranking demonstrates that Goshen College is providing an outstanding Christ-centered liberal arts education that emphasizes academic excellence as well as global citizenship and compassionate peacemaking.”
