Calvin named to Princeton Review College Guide

Calvin College has been included in the 2012 edition of the Princeton Review's
annual college guide: "The Best 373 Colleges." Only about 15 percent of the
nation's four-year colleges are included in the guide.
The guide bases its selections on institutional data, school visits, student
feedback, and the opinions of the Princeton Review staff and 28-member National
College Counselor Advisory Board.
The Princeton Review depends heavily on student surveys in forming each
school's two-page profile.
Among other things, Calvin students highlight the experience and support they
get from their professors. One student says: "Not only do they know their
stuff, but they will go above and beyond to help you." Another student added
that the professors are "engaging and enthusiastic."
Students were also complimentary about the sense of community fostered at
Calvin. One student notes that there are "tons of fun activities to do with
people in your dorm…" Another student notes that the amount of opportunities
for students to get involved, "builds community very efficiently and rapidly."
Yet another student says the small student body creates a close community. "We
are learning to live, and living to learn: socially, academically, and
spiritually together."
Calvin is also among a select 25-percent of Midwestern schools chosen for the
Princeton Review's "Best in the Midwest" section of their website feature,
"2012 Best Colleges: Region by Region." The feature profiles schools that are
recommended as "regional bests" across four locales: the Northeast, the
Southeast, the Midwest, and the West.
