Bennington Scores High
Bennington scored high in this year's Princeton Review rankings.
The review numbered Bennington among the Best Northeastern Colleges, which includes the schools that it considers "academically outstanding and well worth consideration in your college search," as well as in their Best 382 list.
The College's academics were highlighted in "Best Classroom Experience," a metric that is "based on students' answers to several survey questions, including how they rate their professors, their classroom and lab facilities, the amount of in-class time devoted to discussion and the percent of classes they attend." Bennington's faculty were endorsed with a top placement on the "Professors Get High Marks" list.
Drama at Bennington, which Princeton has consistently recognized for its outsized impact, was once again counted among the "Best College Theaters."
The campus landscape and housing received attention as the "Most Beautiful Campus" and the "Best College Dorms." Princeton also noted Bennington's inclusive and welcoming environment in the "LGBTQ Friendly" list.
Princeton's rankings are based on a survey of 136,000 students at 380 top colleges, in which students are asked to assess their schools in a number of categories and report on their student experiences. Bennington has regularly found a top place in the Princeton Review rankings for its unique approach to teaching and learning and for the spaces in which its students live and work.
