Madison, Wis. (October 18, 2018) – Edgewood College is one of the most
environmentally responsible colleges
according to The Princeton Review. The education services company known for its test prep and tutoring services, books, and college rankings features Edgewood College in the 2018 edition of its free
book, The Princeton Review Guide to 399 Green Colleges. This marks the fourth consecutive year the College has made this list.
“We strongly recommend Edgewood College and the other fine colleges in this guide to the many environmentally-minded students who seek to study and live
at green colleges,” Robert Franek, Editor-in-Chief at The Princeton Review said. Franek noted that college applicants and their parents are increasingly concerned about the environment and
sustainability issues. Among nearly 11,000 teens and parents The Princeton Review surveyed earlier this year for its 2018 “College Hopes & Worries Survey,” 63% overall said having information about a
college’s commitment to the environment would influence their decision to apply to or attend the school.
The Princeton Review chose the schools for this ninth annual edition of its “green guide” based on data from the company’s 2017-18 survey of hundreds of four-year colleges concerning the schools’ commitments to the
environment and sustainability. The Princeton Review used data from its institutional survey and its surveys of students at the 399 colleges in the book to tally the ranking list.
