College Optimizer Index measures “thriving” across academic, social and individual dimensions.
A new indicator designed to measure consumer confidence across the nation’s 4-year colleges reveals that two in 10 college students are “high thrivers.”
The College Optimizer Index (COI) comes from vibeffect, a college-decision framework that helps students identify campuses where they’re most likely to thrive.
COI defines thriving as “When a student experiences the maximum benefits from a specific college ecosystem, and demonstrates this by heightened academic and social integration, and a deeper sense of happiness.”
