(KAIR)--A national publication has named Atchison's Benedictine College as one of the Top 10 most recommended colleges in the country by students and alumni.

That word is delivered in a release from the Catholic college, which says the recommendation was made in both the print and online editions of the Wall Street Journal, which, earlier this month, released its 2025 Best Colleges rankings. Benedictine was placed at #6 of the top ten recommendations.

According to the release, Benedictine, earlier this year, was named by the publication as the best private college in Kansas.

The release explains that tens of thousands of survey responses from current students and alumni were analyzed by The Wall Street Journal and College Pulse, a college-focused research firm, with dozens of questions asked, covering student life, classroom quality, career prep, dining halls and sports facilities. This year, the release says, the survey introduced questions focused on the extent to which colleges develop character strengths that help students make meaningful contributions to society, with those strengths including moral courage, resilience, and fairness.
