Couldn't that be almost any school now that provides Internet access for their students?
Still there are colleges and universities that take great pride in the number of tomes they can put on stacks regardless of whether anybody ever opens one of them.
The Top Ten College Libraries:
10. Loyola University of New Orleans www.loyno.edu
9. Illinois Wesleyan University www.iwu.edu
8. Columbia University - Columbia College www.columbia.edu
7. Stanford University - could only manage number 7?! www.stanford.edu
6. Oberlin College - this college is in nowhwere OH! www.oberlin.edu
5. Whitman College www.whitman.edu
4. Brigham Young University - those Mormons have to keep track of all those new revelations. www.byu.edu
3. University of Chicago - adds to the best academic experience, eh? www.uchicago.edu
2. Princeton University www.princeton.edu
1. Harvard College - www.harvard.edu This is what was attractive to Rory...but then...Yale called.
Harvard's umpteen billion dollar endowment allows the school to 'really give its students every available resource.' How about a drop in tuition prices? Can they give their students that?
Annual tuition - $26K + R&B $9K + books $2.5K + fees $3K = $40.5K per year!
What's up with that?
The www.PrincetonReview.com rankings are a source of much debate, maybe even a few fist fights when the schools are neighbors. The book ranks schools in some 60+ different categories. The results are based on surveys given to those who should know best - the students who attend. And PR asked more than 115,000 such students.

Financial aid: Beginning next year, parents in families with incomes of less than $40,000 will no longer be expected to contribute to the cost of attending Harvard for their children. In addition, Harvard will reduce the contributions expected of families with incomes between $40,000 and $60,000.
