Calvin College is again considered one of the best colleges in the country by
the Princeton Review and will be included in its 2004 edition of the "The Best
351 Colleges" (Random House / Princeton Review).
Calvin joins Albion, Kalamazoo, Michigan State, Michigan Tech and Michigan as
the only state schools included in the guide.
"The Best 351 Colleges" has two-page profiles on each college with information
on academics, student body, campus life, admission and financial aid. It also
has a series of quirky rankings that annually garner national attention:
everything from quality of life to town-gown relations to party schools and
non-party schools. Calvin annually appears in several such categories and this
year is no exception. Calvin appears in seven lists for 2004:
#6 - Stone-Cold Sober Schools
#6 - Scotch And Soda, Hold The Scotch
#8 - Got Milk?
#8 - Students Pray on a Regular Basis
#10 - Don't Inhale
#12 - Town-Gown Relations Are Good
#14 - The Best Quality of Life
The annual guide goes on sale today. The ranking lists also can be found at
www.PrincetonReview.com
The Princeton Review surveys students, asking 70 questions about their own
school's academics, campus life and student body, as well as their study hours,
politics, and opinions. The surveys are conducted on campuses on paper with the
permission of college administrators, and electronically. The Princeton
Review, a New York City-based company known for its test preparation courses,
admission and education services, and books, has conducted the survey since
1992, when it first published its annual "Best Colleges" guide.
NOTE TO MEDIA: On Thursday, August 21 the annual U.S. News & World Report
rankings will be released. Calvin has been a top-ranked school in U.S. News in
15 of the last 17 years.
