<p>From the school website:
"North­eastern University’s long-​​standing com­mit­ment to sus­tain­ability has once again gar­nered global acclaim: In rank­ings released ear­lier this month, North­eastern placed third among 301 schools from 61 coun­tries in the Uni­ver­sity of Indonesia’s fourth annual Green­Metric Ranking of World Uni­ver­si­ties. North­eastern placed first among all Amer­ican uni­ver­si­ties in the rankings.</p>

The results derive from self-​​reported data in six weighted cat­e­gories: energy and cli­mate change; set­ting and infra­struc­ture; waste man­age­ment; trans­porta­tion; edu­ca­tion; and water usage."</p>

<p>It is hard to believe. I thought that MIDD would wear this crown, hands down.</p>
