In keeping with its regular placement in the top tiers of such college guides as the Princeton Review, U.S. News & World Report, and The Newman Guide, Thomas Aquinas ������ý has once more earned the kudos of a lesser-known source, ������ý Raptor. The online consultancy has included the ������ý among the “prestigious colleges and universities” in its 2021 Top 25 and rankings.

What distinguishes ������ý Raptor from its various counterparts is that the service aspires to a more personalized approach, offering recommendations based on students’ particular interests and financial needs. Its college Top 25 lists rely entirely on publicly available data about American colleges and universities, including selectivity, first-year retention rates, standardized test scores, student-to-faculty ratios, and graduation rates.

“Thomas Aquinas ������ý is quite unique,” the guide observes, noting that the ������ý “offers only one major: Liberal Arts” and “doesn’t accept direct funding from the government.” Furthermore, “the student-to-faculty ratio is 11 to 1,” and the ������ý “boasts a 91 percent first-year retention rate.”
