Published April 16, a few days before the April 22, 2015 celebration of Earth Day, the free, 218-page guide can be downloaded at www.princetonreview.com/green-guide.

The Princeton Review chose the schools for this sixth annual edition of its "green guide" based on data from the company's 2014 survey of hundreds of four-year colleges concerning the schools' commitments to the environment and sustainability.

"Endicott takes its commitment to sustainability seriously in our facilities, student experience, and academic offerings.  Our ocean setting reminds us daily of the need for stewardship and respect for our environment.  Endicott students study these topics in many academic disciplines and have frequent opportunities to integrate the importance of our natural world across the curriculum," said Richard Wylie, President of Endicott.

"We strongly recommend Endicott and the other fine colleges in this guide to the many environmentally-minded students who seek to study and live at green colleges," said The Princeton Review's Robert Franek, Senior VP-Publisher.

In the "Green Facts" section on Endicott College, The Princeton Review says, "Endicott College wins points for creativity in the challenge of going green. ... Academically, the college offers an environmental science major, which utilizes the dynamic ecosystems, including ocean, marsh, forest, and stream systems, directly on campus, as well as the nearby North Shore of Massachusetts, to implement living education. Historically, the school has also heavily encouraged internships with local organizations, deepening the possibilities for environmental study."

The Princeton Review first published this guide in 2010. It remains the only free, annually updated downloadable guide to green colleges. The company is also known for its dozens of categories of college rankings in its annual books, The Best 379 Colleges and Colleges That Pay You Back.
