KU is a cool school, according to new ranking

KU has garnered a college ranking from a new source Mother Jones magazine. The "MoJo Mini College Guide" includes KU among "10 cool schools that will blow your mind, not your budget." Touting KU as the best value for "heartland hellraisers," the article also praised the university for its large distribution of student aid. In 2007-08, KU students on the Lawrence campus received more than $181 million in financial aid from private and public funds. The magazine's Web site lists some criteria for inclusion in the guide: lower-than-average tuition, generous financial aid policies and innovative work-study programs.
