Kalamazoo College has once again been nationally recognized by the Princeton Review in its popular guide, “The Best 388 Colleges.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kalamazoo College has once again been nationally recognized by the Princeton Review in its popular guide, The Best 388 Colleges<\/em>. The 2023 edition of the book will feature Kalamazoo College among the top 14 percent of colleges and universities in the country and will be available to purchase on August 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Best 388 Colleges<\/em>, released annually by the Princeton Review, chooses colleges from the nation\u2019s 2,700 institutions based on data it collects from administrators about their academic offerings, and surveys of its students who rate and report on their experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The colleges selected are currently listed on the Princeton Review\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe salute Kalamazoo College for its outstanding academics<\/a> 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\u2019s editor-in-chief and lead author of The Best 388 Colleges<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book won\u2019t rank colleges individually, however, it gives K faculty high marks\u201495 out of 99\u2014for student accessibility. Students in surveys for the Princeton Review say their professors \u201cpresent challenging information and generally work to achieve camaraderie with students.\u201d Furthermore, faculty \u201cdefinitely understand that classes may be difficult and really, truly want to help students learn the best they can.\u201d Professors also view students \u201cas equals and peers and are open to listening to everyone\u2019s ideas in classes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In K\u2019s academic profile, The Best 388 Colleges<\/em> lauds the K-Plan<\/a><\/em>, the College\u2019s approach to an education in the liberal arts and sciences, for an open curriculum in which \u201cstudents have more time to explore exactly what they want to learn.\u201d That approach allows each student to find their niche quickly in a small-school environment and helps everyone find campus and community activities they care about, the book says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cK\u2019s inclusion in The Best 388 Colleges<\/em> is based on how students rate their experiences in classrooms and labs, with their professors, in community engagement and in their extracurricular activities including athletics,\u201d Dean of Admission Suzanne Lepley said. \u201cThe idea that K is repeatedly honored year after year through the publication reflects the opportunities available to our students and the quality education they receive.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
