SUNY Purchase has been chosen for inclusion in the 2014 edition of  one of the nation”™s most selective college admissions guides.
Purchase College”™s first appearance in The Fiske Guide to Colleges was based on the college”™s strength in areas such as academics, arts and culture, social life, financial aid, campus environment and extracurricular activities. Compiled by former New York Times education editor Edward B. Fiske, the guide includes slightly more than 300 colleges and universities among more than 7,000 higher education institutions in the U.S.
The college in the new edition is said to have an “academic environment that provides a strong sense of community and support, yet celebrates individuals for their unique talents and contributions.”
Dennis Craig, vice president of enrollment management and marketing at SUNY Purchase, in a press release said its inclusion in the prestigious college guide “validates the fact that we are providing a well-rounded offering for students, one that allows students to ”˜Think Wide Open”™ and provides an excellent education in an environment that offers a very good quality of life.”
