OHIO UNIVERSITY CITED IN THREE CATEGORIES IN KAPLAN NEWSWEEK COLLEGE CATALOG

ATHENS, Ohio -- Ohio University has been identified by guidance counselors across the nation as being a best value for your money and for offering excellent extracurricular activities, according to the Kaplan Newsweek College Catalog 2000.

The catalog, available in bookstores in July, lists Ohio University in three categories: schools with the best range of extracurricular activities, schools representing the best value for the money and schools that are "hidden treasures," colleges or universities that offer an excellent education but aren't as renowned as schools in the Ivy League.

The guide is one of several Kaplan Books offering advice on education and was compiled by the staff of Kaplan Educational Centers following a survey of about 4,500 guidance counselors.

"Guidance counselors have such a wealth of information and they send hundreds of students to colleges all the time," said Laura Sigman, public relations manager for Kaplan Books. "What they perceive is important because it affects where students go."

This is the first time Kaplan Books has conducted a survey of guidance counselors for the annual publication, which includes information on more than 1,000 U.S. colleges and universities.
