College Choice Releases 2016 Ranking of the Best Oceanside Colleges and Universities
EUGENE, Ore., June 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- College Choice (http://www.collegechoice.net) has published its annual ranking of the best oceanside colleges and universities. The ranking can be viewed at http://www.collegechoice.net/rankings/best-oceanside-colleges/.
Katie Amondson, Associate Editor of the ranking, says, "For students who are avid water sports fans, or who want to go into marine biology, aquaculture, or oceanography, there is one requirement--the school must be near water. A school near the ocean will undoubtedly have resources, programs, and even clubs that combine a love of the water with learning, and so this is where the journey for dedicated students begins."
The College Choice 2016 Rankings of the Best Oceanside Colleges and Universities takes into account several key factors to ensure that you get the best rate of return on your educational investment. In addition to proximity to the ocean, these factors include academic ranking, cost of tuition, total net cost, average financial aid packages, and average early-career salary.
