[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that financial stability is important, and I was actually curious about how these colleges fare on that metric. I plugged in each of the schools to Forbes (2023 financial grades) -- the list is below. Personally, I have some quibbles with Forbes's letter grades, mostly bc the rounding seems generous (for example: Hiram's 2.84 counts as a B, and Lynchburg's 3.23 is a B+). So the numeric grades are useful context. Anyway, here's the list: Agnes Scott: A+ (4.31) Allegheny: A (3.96) Antioch - not graded Austin College: A- (3.83) Bard: A (4.03) Beloit: B (3.05) Birmingham Southern: C- (1.61) Centre: A+ (4.27) Clark University: A (3.92) Cornell College: B+ (3.35) Denison: A+ (4.45) Earlham: A+ (4.32) Eckerd: B- (2.77) Emory & Henry: A- (3.65) Evergreen State: not rated Goucher: A (3.93) Guilford: B (2.99) Hampshire: A- (3.99) Hendrix: A (3.93) Hillsdale: A (4.50) Hiram: B (2.84) Hope: A- (3.81) Juniata: A- (3.53) Kalamazoo: A (4.06) Knox: A (4.04) Lawrence: A+ (4.19) McDaniel: A (3.52) Millsaps: A (3.93) New College of Florida: not rated Ohio Wesleyan: A (3.97) Reed: A+ (4.50) Rhodes: A (4.17) Southwestern: A (4.07) St. John's College: A+ (4.24) St. Mary's College of California: A- (3.72) St. Olaf: A+ (4.31) University of Lynchburg: B+ (3.23) University Puget Sound: A (4.05) Ursinus: B+ (3.46) Wabash: A+ (4.27) Wheaton IL: A+ (4.50) Whitman: A+ (4.32) Willamette: A (3.88) Wooster: A (4.06)[/quote] Thanks, PP, for taking the time to look all these up and post.
