H

er Guide to America’s Best Colleges is the only comprehensive survey of higher-learning options compiled exclusively for women, using a ranking system based on criteria that women identify as most important to them.

Safety, in particular, is an important concern that the women we surveyed consistently ranked as a high priority in their college search. For this reason, Her Guide to America’s Best Colleges is the only college guide that considers a school’s safety history in addition to other important criteria such as reputation, student to faculty ratio, graduation rates, and quality education programs.

More than a collection of rankings and statistics, Her Guide to America’s Best Colleges also offers editorial insight and practical advice to serve as a trusted guide in helping college-bound women—and by extension their parents, guardians and counselors—arrive at the school choice that best meets their individual needs and priorities.

Those colleges and universities that ranked in the top 300 are distinguished with the Women’s Choice Award®, an extraordinary accolade that is highly regarded by women. Women’s Choice Award colleges and universities can take advantage of that distinction with a custom profile in the College Guide to highlight the accomplishment and how the school meets her needs for a higher education.

Best Wishes,

Delia Passi Editor-in-Chief Founder, Women’s Choice Award®

OUR MISSION The Women’s Choice Award® is a trusted referral source for women who are searching for the best colleges, hospitals, businesses and brands that are meeting the highest standards.

methodology

OUR award methodology allows us to rank ALL COLLEGES using quantitative measures WHICH SUPPORT THE SAFETY AND REPUTATION ANALYSIS. Utilizing data from the US Dept. of Education’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), as well as survey data we collected from over a thousand women on what is important to them in defining a quality college or university, we arrived at uniform measures for: • Reputation

and ranked schools according to the total points earned. Where ties existed, cost for out-of-state tuition determined precise ranking.

• Student to faculty ratios • Depth of education

Reputation is a function of female admission rates and enrollment rates, as well as out-of-state enrollments. Safety rankings were based on three years of campus crime rates, and weighed based on our women’s survey of the importance of different types of offens-

es (forcible sex offenses rated highest). Depth of education was primarily a function of post-graduate to undergraduate ratio and levels of degrees granted.

Data came from 2013 fall enrollment statistics. Safety data covered 2011-2013. We only considered schools offering at least a 4-year bachelor’s degree, that had a restrictive admissions policy (no open admissions).

Safety in Evaluating a school’s safety record and policies are important considerations for college-bound women. Here are a few resources and key questions to help in the process.

A

s college-bound students narrow down their list of schools, prepare applications and investigate which college or university is right for them, there’s another important aspect that should factor into the decision—campus safety.

Woman to Woman

Rebecca Samuelson

Female students, in particular, should vet a school’s safety performance, statistics and policies prior to applying for admission.

Studies show that one in 10 female under graduates may find their personal safety compromised at one point, whether at social events, inside dorm rooms or even

In response, colleges are trying to arm students with self-defense strategies, as well as raise their overall awareness about violence and sexual assault.

School: Georgetown University Graduated: 2015

Under a federal law known as the Jeanne Clery Act, brick-and-mortar schools that receive federal student aid are required to share information about crime on and around their campuses. Under the law, schools must submit an annual security report, maintain a crime log, share statistics for

AMERICA’S BEST COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES

2018 / 19

a variety of crimes that happen on campus and in some off-campus facilities, issue timely campus alerts, maintain a fire log and create policies to handle reports of missing students.

Families should first check the annual security report, which schools must submit

by Oct. 1 each year, says Abigail Boyer, assistant executive director of programs at the Clery Center for Security On Campus.

The Department of Education has a site that allows users to research statistics by institution.

The Clery Act provides basic rules, but colleges have flexibility in how they implement certain sections, including how they handle campus alerts about safety issues.

Parents and prospective students can look at an institution’s annual security report, which should be available on the school’s website, to find statistics on crime, disciplinary actions and campus safety policies.

Here are a few key questions to ask:

What is the college doing to cultivate a safe campus?

How does the school communicate with students in an emergency?

What prevention programs do you have to educate students about safety?

How do you protect students who live off campus?

Behind The Scenes of the College Blogger Lifestyle I TAKE PHOTOS OF EVERYTHING.

I AM BLOGGING, NOT WORKING ON HOMEWORK. Blogging is a lot of work, it’s not “silly”, and it’s not for everyone. If you don’t like taking photos, editing posts and photos and interacting and engaging with readers, then you’ll probably have a hard time building a community. I strive to make our blog approachable and relatable while also staying professional and put together.

It really is a balancing act.

Gabby

I love interesting angles, bright colors, and the beauty of everyday life.

Every once in a while, you may feel awkward capturing your meal on snapchat, but I have moved so far beyond feeling awkward. It’s super easy for me to take 40 photos of my food in a crowded restaurant until my food isn’t even hot anymore.

IT’S HARD EXPLAINING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN CHEMISTRY AND THIS BLOG. I mean the answer is simple, however a lot of people still don’t understand that there is minimal connection between my major and the blog. I may not be majoring in advertising, marketing, or journalism; but that doesn’t mean I don’t find social media absolutely fascinating. Most of the time, I am writing these posts to forget about acid-base problems and the molecular pathways of epithelial cells.

COLLEGE BLOGGERS NEED BALANCE. It sucks saying no to campaigns and blogging opportunities, but my grades thank me for taking a step back.

Blogging is great, don’t get me wrong, and it definitely has its perks and fun times; but it is a lot of work.

College bloggers are so dang impressive. As a collective, we are churning out great content, getting killer jobs and internship opportunities, nailing it in academics, and looking darn good while doing it.

essentials RAINGEAR Regardless of whether you go to school in Florida or in the Midwest, one thing’s for certain. It will rain.

There’s nothing worse than sitting through a 75-minute lecture looking, feeling, and smelling like a wet dog.

So get a good raincoat, umbrella, and rain boots and walk to class dry + in style.

Essential College Items

Top picks for essential college pieces! They have the power to make your next four years at college just that much better.

SHEETS

A BACKPACK

Sleep is so important in college, especially after a long day of classes and studying. That’s why I try to make my bed as comfy as possible. Sheets are one of those essential college pieces that many people don’t give much thought to.

I was that girl in middle school and early high school who just carried all her stuff in a cute Vera Bradley tote. And by stuff, I mean “one notebook and stylish pink plastic pencil case.” BUT, the times have changed.

And trendy sparkly notebooks have been replaced with expensive computers, lots of books, and an agenda.

You’re going to NEED a sturdy backpack to get you through college!

Invest in a good one in your freshman year, and it’ll last you through walks to class, weekend lock-ins in the library, and trips to and from home.

COFFEE MAKER This might not apply to you if you don’t love (or need) coffee as much as I do, but for me my mini Keurig is one of my top essential college items.

I love making coffee and tea in my dorm while I do my readings for class.

It saves me so much money at the campus Starbucks. Plus, Keurigs are great for heating up water to make rice, mac + cheese, or oatmeal!

A College Girl’s Guide to Slaying Finals This may be the single week of the semester that could potentially send you into multiple mental breakdowns, but you can rock it…

Cook something tasty.

Schedule your life.

Take breaks.

Treat yo’ self.

One of my favorite things to do since moving off campus is cooking. It’s so calming and grocery shopping makes me feel less of a child. Your brain is going to need all the glucose it can get to power through exams.

Okay, so this may seem a little bit over the top for most people, but I promise this alleviates some of the normalized stress that I would otherwise drown in.

I schedule my sleep, studying, meals, and free time.

Make your study fun.

No one wants to look at boring and bleak practice problems and note cards. It’s generic and will probably have you falling asleep at noon. I love having all of my study materials in color. I write out my biochemistry mechanisms and summarize my class notes on printer paper in complementary color combinations.

Fun Fact: color is good for memory.

Yes, it is 100% necessary to do something close to being fun at multiple points throughout the week.

It can be as simple as face masks and old Disney movies with your roommates or a Zumba class followed by lunch with a classmate to discuss non-class things #friendship.

2018 / 19

You’ve made it through to the end and it’s time to pack up your textbooks and temporarily forget it all starts again in a couple of weeks. To make this break even sweeter, I recommend setting a goal or making a promise to yourself at the beginning of the week for a way to treat yourself at the end of the week.

shopping

A College Girl’s Guide to Grocery Shopping! ✓✓PLAN OUT YOUR MEALS. Now, this is more important than I actually thought at first, but I make a schedule of meals and all the things that I need to make, including the technical items like aluminum foil.

✓✓MAKE A MORNING OUT OF IT! I will only grocery shop earlier in the morning on Saturday or Sunday.

Saturdays around 8.30 or 9 a.m. are the best.

I’d also recommend eating a nice breakfast beforehand, in order to avoid grocery shopping while hungry.

✓✓SHOP WITH FRIENDS. Brought to you by

I seriously suggest grocery shopping with friends. I find that I spend a lot less money when I’m shopping with my gal pals and I’m pressured to be healthier. You can share recipes and brands, and sometimes we’ve shared deals like BOGO offers and things, because normally I would never need two 8 packs of yogurt.

✓✓PICK ONE SPLURGE ITEM. I find that in order to limit what ends up in my cart and to make sure I’m having plenty of money to spend on fresh fruits and veggies, I’ll limit myself to one or two splurge items – anything with over 10g of sugar and over $5 dollars that isn’t a meat or entrée.

Whether that’s from stocking up on cheap essentials like potatoes, rice, beans, etc. and using these as main dishes to only buying meat/fish that’s on sale for a good price, there are a ton of ways to mix up your diet while still staying on budget and not wasting food.

✓✓CHECK STORE CATALOGS.

There are so many reasons why you should care about a career in STEM. Not only is it interesting and rewarding, there are many people who are willing to help and guide you through making the right choices in your career.

Key considerations when choosing a STEM school: 1. Are there resources and programs in place to help you not just survive but thrive as a STEM major?

2. Are there hands-on learning opportunities such as internships and apprenticeships?

3. Is the structure of your STEM program aligned with your learning style?

Regardless of difficulties that you may encounter, mentors can serve as motivation to push you towards a bright future in STEM. Opportunity secured my decision to attend University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) and my experiences over the past three years have reassured me that I made the right choice. The Meyerhoff Scholarship Program, the Center for Women in Technology, and the Honors College are some of the programs that have guided my growth academically, professionally, and mentally. I have worked all over the country and made a larger impact at my school and in my community than I could have ever imagined. I love UMBC because the empowering spirit of the school has prepared me to become a leader, not only in my field, but globally as well.

Your College Years: A Smart Investment

YOU LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF.

ccccccccccc

When you get to college on your first day, you get a chance to reinvent yourself. The choices you make will tell you about who you are. You’ll discover how you perform under pressure, and what your priorities are. At times you’ll struggle, but you’ll learn how to ask for help from those around you, and how to give help too.

From a young age, you’re told that you need to get good grades in high school in order to go to a good college so that you can get a good job. But is that the only benefit of enrolling? Hardly.

There are many more benefits to the college experience than simply learning job skills.

YOU LEARN ABOUT OTHERS. For many, college is a remarkably different environment from where they went to high school. You’re with a new group of people now, and meeting new people is a great way to grow as

Your college years are a time when you learn about yourself, new cultures, new people, and how to navigate unfamiliar situations. The cost of a college education may seem steep, but it’s an investment that will pay off for years to come, and in ways you might never expect!

a person. You’ll hear different perspectives and meet people with values and interests that vary wildly from yours – but you’ll also find common ground.

Best of all, the friendships you make in college are unique and likely to last a lifetime. And after graduation, AMERICA’S BEST COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES

many of your friends will likely work in a similar field and can help you immensely when you start your career.

YOU WILL FARE BETTER IN THE JOB MARKET. According to a Pew Research Center report published in 2014, college educated millennials have lower unemployment rates than their less educated peers. They’re also more likely to be satisfied with their jobs. Additionally, the study reported that 9 out of 10 college grads say that college has been worth the investment.

The same study found that the gap in earnings between college grads and those without degrees has continued to increase steadily over the past three decades.

In short, don’t underestimate what college can do for you!

You get out what you put in so make the best of it! You’ll be grateful for the things you learn, the friendships you make and the skills that carry you through your career.
