As we wind down to the end of 2016, I thought it would be fun to create a list of some of our best higher education related posts.
We’ve done so many that it wasn’t easy to settle on just ten. Also, the list below isn’t arranged in any particular order based on metrics like page views. They were all chosen by me based on the level of entertainment or the outrageous nature of the story. So here we go…

It is reassuring to see the younger generation appreciates Roy Rogers’ horse as much as my generation does. But shouldn’t they also have something to say about Buttermilk? She carried Dale in many an episode and I think they should proclaim themselves to be Buttermilked from time to time….just to be fair and all that.
When my son applies for college, the probability of selecting a particular institution will be indirectly proportional to often said school appears in your posts, Aleister. Thank you for another year of covering the college crazy.
