1.) Being green pays off

Creighton’s environmentally consciousness continues to pay off in more ways than one as CU joins the ranks

of 322 other U.S. and Canadian colleges deemed “Green Colleges,” according to the Princeton Review’s Guide. In order to determine which school made the list, a 50-question survey of administrators at various colleges was taken in 2012 to see which schools offered the most green amenities. Colleges scoring 83 or higher on the scale outlined by the survey made this list. Creighton is the only Nebraska school listed.
