The Best College Alumni Networks

Research shows that students who are successful in their collegiate or university setting feel satisfied with their choice of school for a wide variety of reasons. Beyond coursework and an eventual degree, factors such as the following college features can make a dramatic impact on student success and well being:

Campus Setting
Religious Focus of a School (or Lack of One)
Political Views of School or Student Body
Natural Beauty of School
Amenities and Extracurricular Options
Clubs and Student Groups
Ability to Fund Course of Study
Support Services
And More

Here at CollegeRank, we understand that students of today are looking for “the whole package.”

Your hard earned money and hard to come by time are going towards a degree. So shouldn’t your time pursuing that degree be special?

To that aim we’ve conducted a wide range of original research about elements of the college and graduate school experience that support your time in school. These elements may not directly influence the degree you gain. But they do matter for your satisfaction with your degree program, your quality of life, and your success at school.

Some of our most popular features and original research may be found below. Don’t see what you’re looking for? Be sure to contact us, or check out our rankings page for more help in discerning the right college for you!

Best Campus Features

Whether you’re living on campus for 5 years, you occasionally visit for special events, or you just interface with support services online, a quality campus can greatly enhance your time in university. We’ve seen this firsthand through years of research at CollegeRank. Below are some of our original research features looking at the most superlative campuses in America and around the world.

Features on Collegiate Student Support

Sometimes (even most of the time), students need support beyond the classroom. Support can come in many forms. From child care, to counseling, to a range of events or a feeling of community. And university’s know that these support services don’t just work by happenstance. It takes hard work, planning, and dedication for a university to enact quality support services. Because support can be such an important part of a student’s collegiate success, we’ve written guides on a number of the best ways a university can be supportive. Check them out below.

What Every College Student Should Know

College is an exciting experience filled with many life lessons beyond what is taught in the classroom. Those of us who are beyond our college years sometimes look back and wish we had known more about navigating college life. We have compiled some helpful articles about the many things college students should know to help them through the day-to-day aspects of college and, in some cases, beyond and into life in the real world.

Other Features

College isn’t all serious. It’s about exploring your interests, having a good time, and gaining a truly collegiate experience that will help to form who you are for the rest of your life. We get that at CollegeRank, and have prepared a number of more “fun” guides or guides on specialty interests. Check out a few of those below.
