Wabash College continues to receive strong rankings from The Princeton Review in its 2026 college guide, which features 391 highly rated colleges and universities.
The College received mentions in 18 categories, including top-10 citations in 11 categories: Most Accessible Professors (No. 2), Students Love Their School Teams (No. 2), Best Health Services (No. 3), Best Career Services (No. 4), Most Active Student Government (No. 5), Lots of Greek Life (No. 7), Professors Get 168体育平台下载_足球即时比分-注册|官网 Marks (No. 8), Best Classroom Experience (No. 8), and Best College Newspaper (No. 10). The Princeton Review previously rated Wabash second nationally in Best Schools for Internships, fifth for Best Alumni Network, and No. 40 in Best Value Colleges for private schools in July.
Inclusion in The Princeton Review’s “Best 391 Colleges” indicates that Wabash stands among the top 15% of more than 2,500 U.S.-based four-year colleges.
The review includes detailed accounts of the best schools with rating scores in eight general categories, including quality of life, campus life, extracurriculars, social scene, and town life. Wabash received scores of 96 and 99 (out of 99) in the categories associated with teaching, interesting faculty, and accessibility. Further, the institution received a 94 rating for financial aid, 92 for return on investment, and an 87 for admissions.
“There are many college guides published each year, but few present institutions from the perspective of the students who attend them,” said Wabash President Scott Feller. The Princeton Review uses the voices of actual students in describing their experiences, so we’re obviously thrilled to be ranked for everything from the classroom experience to internships. If families are looking for a student-centered college, they should look no further than Wabash."
Now in its 34th year of recognizing outstanding colleges and universities, The Princeton Review offers 50 ranking lists, each identifying the top 25 colleges nationally (of the 391 profiled) in those specific categories. The colleges included on these lists are those with a track record of student satisfaction since The Princeton Review surveys more than 170,000 students who rate and report on their own campus experiences through an 85-question survey.
“The Princeton Review’s rankings recognize the hard work, dedication, and care Wabash faculty have for their students with outstanding evaluations for professor accessibility and quality, as well as educational experience,” said Todd McDorman, Dean of the College and professor of rhetoric. “The rankings support what we already knew: Wabash provides an excellent education, led by the outstanding work of our faculty, and I am grateful that they are being recognized for their collective excellence.”
The surveys address a range of topics that prospective students might find interesting or ask about on a campus visit, from academics and administration to amenities, and politics. Each ranking is based solely on student survey responses.
On average, The Princeton Review surveys more than 400 students per campus in an online format. Surveying is a continuous process where students submit surveys online from all schools included in the book. Those surveys can be completed at any time, though the system only accepts one survey from a student per academic year per school.
