Princeton Review recognizes Marquette as one of the best
Marquette University is recognized in the 2009 edition of The 368 Best Colleges
published by the Princeton Review. Only about 15 percent of America’s 2,500 four-year
colleges and two Canadian colleges are recognized in the book, which is based on a
120,000-student survey. Students praised Marquette for being "a small campus in a big
city with a big heart" and having a "comfortable atmosphere."
