The survey provides a tool for students in their college or university selection. Hastings College placed in the third tier of liberal arts colleges-bachelor’s national category. The college was also cited as a Best Midwestern College by The Princeton Review 2006.

Data was compiled from 646 schools, with Hastings College being among 158 selected for the designation.
