NORMAN, OKLA. – The University of Oklahoma has been selected as a Top Green College by The Princeton Review for the eighth consecutive year.
OU is among the 511 institutions selected for the honor out of the 600 universities and colleges surveyed by the company. The Princeton Review’s editors analyzed more than 25 data points to select the schools. On a scale of 60 to 99, OU finished with a score of 95 – the best in Oklahoma and among the top Southeastern Conference universities included on the list.
The distinction is based on multiple factors, including whether a campus’ quality of life for students is both healthy and sustainable, preparation for career opportunities in an increasingly green economy, as well as school policies that promote environmental sustainability.
In its profile on OU, The Princeton Review cites a number of the university’s green practices, including a formal sustainability committee, a sustainability-focused degree, a bike share program and a free campus shuttle as a few examples.
OU can also be found among other rankings by The Princeton Review, including Best Southwest Colleges, the Best 390 Colleges and No. 4 for Greek Life.
