Michigan Tech is being recognized by a national publication.
Princeton Review’s 2016 issue of The Best 380 Colleges ranks Michigan Tech among the best Midwestern colleges and green colleges nationwide.
The new listings were released on Tuesday.
The Princeton Review rankings focus on undergraduate education and are based on surveys of 136,000 students at the 380 colleges on the Best Colleges list.
The report includes comments from Michigan Tech students that touched on the introspective nature of the students, their desire to have fun and how they take advantage of the winter weather.
Tech’s associate vice president for enrollment, marketing and communications John Lehman said the ranking and student comments pleased but did not surprise him, saying they reflect the academic standards of Michigan Tech, the commitment of their students and the unique place they have chosen to study and play.
Princeton Review, not affiliated with Princeton University, has published its Best Colleges guide annually since 1992.
