Earlham College earns multiple Top 25 Princeton Review rankings in new ‘Best Colleges’ guide 

Earlham College has once again been recognized among the nation’s best undergraduate institutions by The Princeton Review, earning seven Top 25 rankings in the publication’s newly released 2027 edition of The Best 392 Colleges. 

Earlham was ranked 11th in the nation for Best Classroom Experience, marking the 11th consecutive year the College has earned a Top 25 spot in the category. Additional recognition for the teaching and learning experience at Earlham include rankings of 12th for “Most Accessible Professors,” and 19th for “Professors Get High Marks.” 
 
Earlham also earned recognition in additional categories, including: 

• No. 7, “Best College Radio Station” for WECI-FM, Earlham’s student-operated radio station 

• No. 15, “LGBTQ-Friendly” 

• No. 21, “Friendliest Students” 

• No. 24, “Green Matters: Everyone Cares About Conservation” 

The Princeton Review’s annual Best Colleges guide, now in its 35th edition, recognizes colleges and universities the publication considers the nation’s best for undergraduate academics. This year’s guide includes only about 14 percent of America’s four-year institutions. 

The Princeton Review’s rankings are based on surveys of approximately 172,000 students attending the colleges featured in the guide. Students rated their institutions and reported on their campus experiences, with the resulting data used to determine the publication’s 50 Top 25 ranking lists.  

Earlham’s nationally recognized classroom experience is a central part of the Earlham Advantage, the College’s four-year approach to preparing students for meaningful lives and careers. The experience combines Earlham’s distinctive liberal arts education with life-design and career coaching beginning on Day 1. 

Every Earlham student also has access to an Epic Experience, with up to $5,000 available to support an internship, research experience or other career-focused opportunity that helps students explore their interests and build toward life after graduation. 

The Princeton Review recognition adds to Earlham’s growing list of national accolades. Earlham is also consistently recognized by U.S. News & World Report among the Top 100 national liberal arts colleges and among the nation’s best values.
