    Who is #DuhWinning? 2011 National College Rankings Released by Her Campus

    The leading online magazine for college women reveals the top schools for media, Greeks, Tweeps, fashion and more.

    Boston, Massachusetts (PRWEB) August 24, 2011

    Where can you run into a celebrity on campus? Which schools are getting an A+ in pop culture? Who is, as Charlie Sheen would Tweet, #duhwinning on social media?

    With a team of over 2,000 student experts at more than 175 colleges and universities across the country, Her Campus Media is proud to announce its 2011 College Rankings, showcasing the best of campus life from coast to coast, including 'Greek Life', 'Girl Power', and everything in between.

    "This has been a collective process that has utilized the power of the Her Campus team and our individual campus branches," said Her Campus Co-Founder, CEO & Editor-in-Chief Stephanie Kaplan. "We hope the audience is able to distinguish the unique qualities that have driven our rankings and the colleges featured in them."

    The 2011 Her Campus College Rankings not only boast about schools swarming with campus pride, but where students strut across campus like it's New York Fashion week, and who IS and ISN'T seeing action between the sheets.
