For more information on this story contact:
OCTOBER 6, 2003 -- Lauded last year as the nerdiest school in the state, Michigan Tech also does the most to keep its nerds connected.
Based in part on interviews with over 100,000 students, the Princeton Review ranked the technological sophistication of 351 leading colleges and universities in the U.S. to develop its "Most Connected" list.
Michigan Tech made the top 25 percent with a ranking of 84. Other Michigan schools evaluated are Calvin College, 100; Albion College, 117; Michigan State University and the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, both 208; and Kalamazoo College, 250.
The "Most Connected" school nationwide, according to the Princeton Review, is Hoboken, N.J.'s Stevens Institute of Technology.
Michigan Tech offers a wireless network, broadband access throughout campus and remote access to e-mail. Students can post their own Web pages on the campus network, and many courses use the Web to augment traditional classwork.
