NR Onondaga Community College 383.573 download

Onandaga Community College was not included in the ranking because it is not a four-year institution.

* Due to a data-transfer error, Cornell University received zero points for its "Innovation" efforts when it should have received partial or even full credit. If that error hadn't occurred, Cornell would have placed higher in the Cool School ranking—possibly in the top 10.

See the complete data for each school (Excel file).
