Fact 2 - Creative Thinking
Forty-nine percent of independent college alumni surveyed give their undergraduate institutions higher effectiveness ratings for helping them think creatively, compared with only 33 percent of public university alumni.

Survey Question: How effective was your college experience in helping you with an ability to think creatively? (Rating a "5" on a 5-point scale with "1" meaning "not at all effective" and "5" meaning "extremely effective.")
