Princeton Review highlights Calvin University’s Health Services
The Princeton Review ranks Calvin University as one of the nation’s best institutions for undergraduates to earn their college degree, and as a top 20 school nationwide for its health services.
The education services company features Calvin in the 2022 edition of its annual college guide, The Best 387 Colleges, which was released today. Only about 14% of America’s 2,700 four-year colleges are profiled in the book, which is one of the Princeton Review’s most popular publications. The company chooses the colleges for the book based on data it annually collects from administrators at hundreds of colleges about their institutions’ academic offerings.
"We salute Calvin University for its outstanding academics, and we are genuinely pleased to recommend it to prospective applicants searching for their ‘best-fit’ college,” said Rob Franek, The Princeton Review's Editor-in-Chief and lead author of The Best 387 Colleges.
Great Health Services
While the schools aren’t ranked numerically 1 to 387 overall, there are also top 20 lists in the guidebook where institutions are ranked. These rankings are determined by surveying students who rate and report on aspects of their campus and community experiences.
Calvin is one of a select few institutions to appear on the “Great Health Services” list. It has appeared on this list each of the last ten years. A team of health services professionals are led by medical doctor Laura Champion, who has more than 25 years of experience and connections in the Grand Rapids area, where Calvin is located.
The Health Services team has been instrumental in the university’s planning and ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a "Survey Says" sidebar in the book's profile on Calvin University, The Princeton Review lists topics that Calvin students were in most agreement about in their answers to The Princeton Review’s survey questions. The list includes: “Students are happy,” “Lab facilities are great,” “Students love Grand Rapids, MI,” “Internships are widely available,” and “Recreation facilities are great.”
