Fiske Guide names Wabash College one of ''best,' 'most interesting' across globe

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. – The constructive relationships built between professors and students at Wabash College put the all-male Indiana school in the 2024 edition of the Fiske Guide to Colleges.

The Fiske Guide named Wabash College as one of the "best and most interesting colleges and universities" in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Ireland.

The Fiske Guide takes insight from students and other information to capture “insider’s view” to college-bound students and their parents.

Students involved in the guide's information-gathering detailed how the strong relationships with professors are key to experiencing Wabash at its fullest.

“Students have the ability to form professional relationships with professors and often obtain help outside of the classroom when needed,” the guide quoted one student.
