Calvin College is one of the nation’s best institutions for undergraduate education, according to the Princeton Review. The education services company features the school in the recently published 2018 edition of its annual college guide, ��

Only about 15 percent of the nation's four-year colleges and two colleges outside the U.S. are included in the guide. Five other colleges and universities in the state of Michigan join Calvin on the list (Albion College, Hillsdale College, Kalamazoo College, Michigan Tech and the University of Michigan).

"We chose Calvin College for this book because it offers outstanding academics,” said Robert Franek, Princeton Review's Editor-in-Chief and author of “The Best 382 Colleges.” “Our selections are primarily based on our surveys of administrators at several hundred four-year colleges. We also visit dozens of colleges each year and give considerable weight to opinions of our staff and our 24-member National College Counselor Advisory Board. Most importantly, we look at valuable feedback we get from each school’s customers—our surveys of students attending them. We also keep a wide representation of colleges in the book by region, size, selectivity and character."

In a “Survey Says” sidebar in the book’s profile on Calvin, the Princeton Review lists topics that Calvin students surveyed for the book were in most agreement about in their responses. The list includes: “internships are widely available,” “students love Grand Rapids, MI,” “easy to get around campus” and “recreation facilities are great,” to name a few.

Students who were surveyed highlighted their professors’ credentials and accessibility. Students said that professors have “a desire to share their wealth of experiences and passions with the students” and are “extremely talented, interesting, and connected in their specific fields.” Students also shared that instructors are also “masters at integration of education and Christianity,” making the classes at Calvin less about teaching the requisites for getting a job and “more about how to continue to learn about the field and how Christianity should figure into it.”
