According to WalletHub, Monmouth College ranked ninth out of the top ten colleges in Illinois. WalletHub is a service for receiving free credit reports, and various rankings. Monmouth’s ranking was evaluated by looking into categories such as career outcomes, cost, financing and student selectivity over more than thirty areas.
“This ranking highlights what we do well,” said admissions counselor Olivia Diaz. “To be on a list with a school as recognizable as Northwestern University is tremendous. A lot of people who go to Monmouth maybe have never heard of Monmouth before they start the process. This list could help inspire other people to give Monmouth a look”
The past couple years have been unusual for Colleges and Universities with the pandemic hitting. According to Diaz being recognized on this list helps show that “more students are enjoying their experiences here. Not everything is perfect, but positive feedback is still being sent out there.”
