The Princeton Review is placing Kalamazoo College among the top 14 percent of institutions for degree-seeking undergraduates by featuring K in the education services company\u2019s annual college guide,\u202fThe Best 387\u202fColleges<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The schools featured aren\u2019t individually ranked. However, the publication praises K\u2019s academics<\/a> while giving faculty high marks\u201495 points on a 99-point scale\u2014for student accessibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We salute Kalamazoo College for its outstanding academics and we are genuinely pleased to recommend it to prospective applicants searching for their \u2018best-fit\u2019 college,\u201d said Rob Franek, the Princeton Review’s editor-in-chief and lead author of The Best 387 Colleges<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Princeton Review\u202fchooses colleges\u202ffor the book, one of its most popular publications,\u202fbased on data it annually collects from administrators about their institutions\u2019 academic offerings, and\u202fits\u202fsurveys of college students who rate and report on various aspects of their campus and community experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In those surveys, students credited faculty for presenting challenging information and working to achieve camaraderie with students. Students also said the K-Plan<\/a><\/em>\u2014the College\u2019s personalized approach to education through a flexible, open curriculum featuring real-world experience, service learning, study abroad and an independent senior year project\u2014allows them more time to explore exactly what they want to learn.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In extra-curriculars,\u202fstudents\u202fsaid they can\u202ffind their niche quickly\u202fin\u202fthe small-school environment,\u202fallowing\u202fmost to\u202fengage\u202fin work they care about.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
