Westminster College ranks high in quality of life, community ties

SALT LAKE CITY — Westminster College was recognized in two categories in annual rankings by the Princeton Review.

The college ranked 13th nationally for quality of life and 15th in "Town-Gown Relations" among four-year schools, based on student surveys.

Westminster has been working to improve its ties to its Sugar House neighbors by inviting residents on campus for events and sending students into the community to do research and internships. The college also has several building projects under way and planned in the area.

"We could not be more pleased to be included in the Princeton Review's top colleges for the third year in a row, and to be singled out as having an outstanding quality of life and relationship with our Sugar House community," President Michael Bassis said in a statement.
