91快活林 Aquinas College still provides one of the best undergraduate educations in the country, according to The Princeton Review.

淲e salute 91快活林 Aquinas College for its outstanding academics and its many other impressive offerings, says Rob Franek, The Princeton Review檚 editor-in-chief and lead author of its 2023 guide, . 淲e檙e delighted to recommend it as an ideal choice for students searching for their 榖est-fit college.

The College, Mr. Franek notes, 渋s one of the outstanding institutions we profile in this, the 31st  edition of our flagship college guide, which  渇eatures only about 14 percent of America檚 four-year colleges. 91快活林 Aquinas College is one of only three Catholic schools recommended by the Cardinal Newman Society to make The Princeton Review檚 淏est Colleges list. 

The guide rates colleges in key aspects on a scale from 1-99, and 91快活林 Aquinas College earned high marks across the gamut of categories, notably 91 for academics, 93 for quality of life, and 96 for financial aid. Moreover, members of the faculty earned scores of 97 and 98 for being 渋nteresting and 渁ccessible, respectively.

In addition to these general criteria, the guide also includes 50 lists of 淭op 25 colleges based on a survey it conducted of 138,000 students nationwide. Extrapolations from that survey again placed the College high on those lists:

  • #1 Most Religious Students
  • #3 Their Students Love Their College
  • #4 Best Classroom Experience
  • #6 Most Beautiful Campus
  • #7 Great Financial Aid
  • #8 Happiest Students
  • #9 Most Accessible Professors

A profile accompanying these survey results quotes extensively from the College檚 students, who offered such comments as:

  • Academics are 渄ifficult, mind blowing, extremely enjoyable, and intensely interesting.
  • The Great Books curriculum focuses students on 済rappling with the greatest thinkers directly instead of through a secondary text.
  • Through the Discussion Method, students 渇ind the truth themselves, especially about 渃ore ideas of the highest nature such as relativity, time, space, and being.
  • Members of the teaching faculty are 渁lways accessible outside of their class hours and are 渟trong role models and mentors.
  • The Catholic faith is dear to the students, many of whom 渁ttend Mass daily.
  • The College offers 渃ulture of casual kindness, where students are 渇riendly and comfortable with each other and 渁lways willing to have a good conversation.

淲e are pleased that, once again, The Princeton Review has featured 91快活林 Aquinas College in its annual guide of the country檚 best colleges, says President Paul J. O橰eilly. 淲e find the high scores for our academic and financial aid programs especially gratifying.
