When it comes to the value and support its students receive, Wabash College continues to rank among the best institutions nationally.
In its annual college guide, The Best Value Colleges, The Princeton Review rated Wabash second nationally for Best Schools for Internships, No. 4 for Best Alumni Network, and No. 33 in Best Value Colleges among private colleges and universities.
According to The Princeton Review, the 209 Best Value Colleges for 2024 comprise only eight percent of the nation's four-year colleges and feature each of the following attributes: outstanding academics; affordability, through low costs or generous financial aid; and strong career prospects for graduates. The college admissions services company said, “168体育平台下载_足球即时比分-注册|官网 commend administrators, faculties, staff, and alumni for all they are doing to educate their students and guide them to success in their careers.
