For the third time in a month, Goshen College has received national attention, this time with its inclusion in the fourth edition of Barron's Best Buys in College Education , edited by Lucia Solorzano. Student-faculty interaction at Goshen is praised in the book. Their competence as teachers and listeners beyond their superb academic competence makes a difference.
Campus life is listed as another strength by students.
Contrary to what happens at many small colleges, most students remain on campus on weekends, providing opportunity for movies, coffeehouses, theater and music productions and athletic contests. The book also cites Goshen's innovative international education program, including the internationally recognized Study-Service Term program, where most students spend a semester in a significantly different culture. Schools were chosen by comparing tuition rates to both the national average for schools of the same type and to similar schools in their region or schools of comparative selectivity or academic emphasis. Percentage of faculty with Ph.D.s, percentage of entering frosh who graduate from college and percentage of graduates seeking advanced degrees also contributed to the selection process.
