Whittier College has been included in the 2011 edition of The Fiske Guide to Colleges which features the country's "best and most interesting" colleges and universities.
Edward B. Fiske, a 17-year education editor for The New York Times, wrote The Fiske Guide to Colleges more than 25 years ago to provide college-bound students and their families better information on which to base their educational choices. Inclusion in the guide is based on financial aid, academic quality, social life, and quality of life at featured institutions.
The 2011 edition of The Fiske Guide to Colleges was released in July.
