The editors of The Washington Monthly published their own college guide this year, which ranks institutions using entirely different criteria.
“While other guides ask what colleges can do for students, we ask what colleges are doing for the country,” write the editors in the September issue of the publication, a political magazine based in the nation’s capital.
Rather than asking institutions to complete a survey form, as U.S. News does, the monthly relied on publicly available data. It calculated each college’s score for community service, based on the percentage of federal work-study funds used for community-service projects.
