[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Augustana College is a great experience and students get a good education.  Financial aid is very good for most students. I can't imagine it being a dream school for most students from this area, though. [/quote]

Selingo is just trying to sell books by introducing non-discussed schools (lots of them) into a conversation that will generate nationwide publicity.[/quote]

Umm, the intro to the list says that: "If you live in California, then Montclair State—a good regional college in New Jersey that’s on this list—probably isn’t for you. But if you live in New Jersey and are thinking about Rutgers or Penn State, then Montclair State might be worth more than a passing look. Of course, the type of campus you want matters, too. Let’s say you’re especially drawn to small, top-ranked liberal arts colleges like Bowdoin and Pomona. In that case, it may make sense to include St. Olaf from this list as you expand your field of vision, but you can most likely skip big, rah-rah campuses like the University of Illinois and Clemson."
