Ohio University Ranked # 115 Nationally


Every year U.S. News & World Report comes out with an annual edition called Best Colleges. Published today, it ranks our dear Alma Mater at # 115, which I think is a little low, when you consider all the costs to benefits ratio. But I am a bit biased obviously, being a graduate.

You can check out how Ohio U. and other schools rank, by going to their website here.

At this free site, there is a breakdown of how the schools were rated by the various categories to achieve their rank.

For parents and potential students, you can pay for an expanded or "premium online edition", to more closely explore any school in depth.

This year Ohio University may only be #115 at U.S. News...
But for thousands of it's graduates, OU will always be #1 !

Welcome

This blog and forum has been created to serve as a new and different outlet...

One where friends and alumni of WOUB Radio TV and News (and all the various media outlets at Ohio University) can choose to enjoy an alternative to the current social networking sights that dominate the internet.

Intended as an archive of old memories and a preserver old friendships.

But with a nod and look towards new and changing forms of communication. As well as new and changing connections for the ideas, goals, projects and aspirations of its readers, contributors, and old friends...

It will strive to serve as a connector for the business and personal blogs and other websites of its members and contributors, to further their individual needs and goals.

Let's see what happens...

Welcome all...
