Fiske Guide Names the College a “Best Buy”
July 18, 2017
For more than 30 years, Fiske Guide to Colleges has chosen a select group of schools noted for quality academic offerings and affordable cost for its annual list of “Best Buy” schools.
The 2018 guide named 20 public institutions and only 18 private colleges across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. as best buys—and Principia is one of them! (See the full list below.)
For years, Principia has been recognized by Fiske for its academic rigor, engaging professors, exceptional abroad opportunities, and quality dorm life. The 2018 guide’s recognition of the College’s quality and affordability confirms the exceptional value of a Principia College education.
