Before today, I could select “Colleges and Universities” on the left under Top Forums.
Today, it says “Alphabetic List of Colleges.”
My kids went to schools in the “CC Top Liberal Arts Colleges” category. Since they’re in that category, they’re not listed in the Alphabetic List. I think the “Colleges and Universities” link on the left needs to be restored. There are a lot of schools not listed in the Alphabetic List because they’re under other categories.
Yes - same here - example: Bates College
It must be incomplete. It looks like the lower part of the alphabet is still getting populated.
They are probably working in the top colleges from the old system into the new listing. Prob just be patient.
FYI - Davidson College is also missing.
Guys, we’ve added back the “Colleges & Universities” to the Top Forums. Thanks!
@CCadmin_Sorin,
I hate to be a pain about it, but the request to add Bates and Bowdoin to the alphabetical list has been made many times, originally in 2007.

Yes, I agree, why arent those schools on the alphabetical list? @skieurope , is there anyone else who can help with this?
This is above the moderator level. Keep in mind, like many businesses, many CC employees uses vacation days at this time of year, so response time may be a bit slower.
Guys, I’ve just put in a request to see if we can have this taken care of. The fix is not straightforward due to the way these forums are built in the backend. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks!
We would appreciate attention and change to this. It is hard to understand why it is not straight forward and highly desirable for consistency.
Bates and Bowdoin are now on the list, @DeniseC .
? I don’t see them on the alphabetical list of colleges.
Bates and Bowdoin are listed now in Top Liberal Arts Colleges.
Yes they have been listed there for as long as I have been here. The correction I am looking for is to list them in the overall alphabetical listing. They are not on that list.
Ah, I didn’t realize. Thanks.
Guys, the backend work required to update the alphabetic list is pretty significant, that’s why this was put on hold for so long. We finally got resources and we’ll soon engage in this exercise. Before that, I want to make sure we add all the missing schools. I did a check and concluded that these schools are currently missing from the alphabetic list: Barnand, Bates, Bowdoin, Bryn, Davidson.
Are there any other? Thanks a lot!
@CCadmin_Sorin Thank you.
I checked the sublists of CC Top Liberal Arts Colleges, CC Top Universities, U.S. Service Academies, and Ivy League against the comprehensive list Alphabetical List of Colleges.
I concur Barnand, Bates, Bowdoin, Bryn Mawr, Davidson are the only ones I found missing.
Interesting to me that ALL the B schools (Barnand, Bates, Bowdoin, Bryn Mawr) from the CC Top Liberal Arts Colleges and ALL the D schools (Davidson) from the CC Top Liberal Arts Colleges were left out. It seems like a mere oversight in the original intention.
