K-College on Forbes list of best schools in the nation

Of the top 610 schools in the nation, Kalamazoo College ranks 73 says Forbes magazine.

The magazine showed a liking for small, private liberal arts schools like K-College this year, making Williams College in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts its top choice.

Forbes says the ranking measures schools based on the quality of the education they provide, the experiences of the students and how much they achieve.

Excerpt:

Whether they’re in the top 10 or near the end of the list, all 610 schools in this ranking count among the best in the country: We review just 9% of the 6,600 accredited postsecondary institutions in the U.S., so appearing on our list at all is an indication that a school meets a high standard. 

To our way of thinking, a good college is one that meets student needs. While other college rankings are based in large part on school reputation as evaluated by college administrators, we focus on factors that directly concern incoming students: Will my courses be interesting? Is it likely I will graduate in four years? Will I incur a ton of debt getting my degree? And once I get out of school, will I get a good job?
