Post Date and Author:

( July 7, 2010) New College of Florida has been named a “best buy school” in the revised and updated 2011 edition of Fiske Guide to Colleges. The 45 “Best Buy Schools” – 21 public and 24 private from the U.S., Great Britain and Canada —  fall into the inexpensive or moderate price category with four or five star academic ratings. Institutions were selected based on the quality of academic offerings in relation to the cost of attendance.

New College has consistently been rated a best buy school in the Fiske Guide since 2003.

For more than 25 years, students and their families have looked to the Fiske Guide to Colleges to help make the most intelligent educational investment they can. The revised and updated 2011 edition of the Fiske Guide to Colleges (July 2010) by Edward B. Fiske features over 300 of the best and most interesting colleges and universities in the U.S., Great Britain and Canada. The Fiske Guide accepts no consulting, advertising, or other fees from colleges and has no outside relationship with colleges working on its behalf. The Fiske Guide’s only goal is to help future students select the best colleges to reach their own goals.

Edward B. Fiske served for 17 years as education editor of  The New York Times, during which time he realized that college-bound students and their families needed better information on which to base their educational choices. He wrote The Fiske Guide to Colleges to help them. He co-wrote, along with Bruce G. Hammond, The Fiske Guide to Nailing the SAT, as well as Fiske What to do When for College and The Fiske Guide to Getting into the Right College.
