(Leavenworth, Kansas) – The University of Saint Mary was once again recognized as one of the best colleges in the Midwest by The Princeton Review. The education services company has named Saint Mary to its Best in the Midwest list every year since 2005.
The 150 colleges on the Best in the Midwest list represent 12 states: Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota,
and Wisconsin. The Princeton Review editors chose 630 colleges across seven regions
for its 2027 Best Regional Colleges feature, which is about 22 percent of America’s
four-year institutions.
“The University of Saint Mary is honored to be recognized by The Princeton Review
year after year,” University President Ann Marie Fallon said. “This longstanding recognition
speaks to the strength of a Saint Mary education and, most importantly, to the faculty,
staff, and students who make our community exceptional.”
The Princeton Review surveyed administrators at 2,000 colleges for this project, requesting
information about their school’s academic programs, campus policies, student services,
amenities, and other topics. Over the years, The Princeton Review has surveyed more
than 3.5 million college students. The company asks students to rate their schools
on dozens of topics and report on their campus experiences.
“We recommend the University of Saint Mary as an excellent choice for students searching
for their personal ‘best-fit’ college and hoping to attend one of the many fine schools
in the Midwest,” said Rob Franek, editor-in-Chief of The Princeton Review. “We chose
the schools for our 2027 Best Regional Colleges lists primarily based on our high
regard for their academics. We also considered what students attending the schools
reported to us about their experiences at them.”
