ew colleges and college towns are as intertwined, geographically and historically, as Rollins College and Winter Park. Indeed, it’s hard to imagine one without the other. So locals were understandably proud when U.S. News & World Report ranked Rollins No. 1 among Regional Universities in the South in its 2021 annual rankings of “Best Colleges.” It marked the 26th year the college has been ranked either No. 1 or No. 2 on the prestigious list. Rollins topped the list of 165 colleges and universities that provide a full range of undergraduate and master’slevel programs.
