[Vision2020] NSA Among Top 50 'All-American Colleges'

[J Ford]

This is an institution that rates ONLY "special" colleges of the 
conservative nature or ilk.  It does not look at other, truely top colleges 
in the US.

Itnae that like Dougie patting his-self on the back and saying "Well done"?

>It won't affect the number of students accepted, he said.
>
>The school plans to maintain its limited enrollment structure. Atwood said
>the increased competition for the number of freshman slots will only 
>enhance
>the overall quality of the incoming students.
>
>The book doesn't list any typical All-American colleges, instead it
>identifies: "All-American Colleges: Top Schools for Conservatives,
>Old-Fashioned Liberals, and People of Faith."
>
>Intercollegiate Studies Institute compiled the list. The institute is a
>nonprofit organization dedicated to helping students select their college 
>or
>university.
>
>Atwood said his college would fall into the category of religiously 
>oriented
>colleges, along with others like Thomas Aquinas College, Hope College and
>Calvin College.
>
>"It's a wonderful honor and it's humbling," Atwood said. "We know we have
>lots of areas to improve in; the fact they're recognizing us for the 
>quality
>of where we are now is very flattering."
>
>This fall the college will enter its 13th year, whereas others on the list,
>like Princeton and the University of Chicago, have been building their
>reputations for more than 100 years.
>
>"It does give external affirmation or confirmation of the quality of things
>we're doing here," Atwood said. "The national recognition of that is very
>important to us."
>
>In the 413-page book, the profile of NSA earned six pages that detail the
>college for prospective students. The review included interviews from
>students and faculty to supplement information gathered from NSA's general
>catalog.
>
>It gave any incoming freshmen a fair warning of the intense reading
>requirements. It also described the welcoming community feel of the 
>students
>and faculty on campus.
>
>The book can be pre-ordered at www.isi.org/books or by calling (800)
>526-7022. New Saint Andrews College will also carry the book in its
>bookstore.
