The College of William & Mary - It appeared on three of those top 25 lists, including 9th among “Most Service-Minded Schools,” and 21st in both “Most Desirable Suburban Schools” and “Best Schools for Future Power Brokers.”
Smith College - The 2010 Newsweek/Kaplan college guide cited Smith's Ada Comstock Scholars Program as “rare for a selective liberal arts college—a successful effort to stock the student body with...students far beyond their teenage years.”
Soka University of America - It was named in the "Top 25" in the following categories: Most Diverse Schools; Great Schools with Great Weather; Most Desirable Suburban Schools; Most Desirable Small Schools.
Marquette University - The fall 2010 Kaplan/ Newsweek Finding the Right College for You guide listed Marquette 11th in the "Most Service-minded Schools" category, based on Washington Monthly's rankings.
