One of our goals at College Factual is to give you as much information as we can - such as our Best Colleges for Division I Men's Swimming in the Great Lakes Region ranking - to help you make that decision.
We analyzed 4 colleges and universities across the Great Lakes Region to determine which were the best for D1 Men's Swimming athletes in the Great Lakes Region. Our ranking is based on several objective factors, including the school's overall quality and the athletic competitiveness of the school. We steer clear of subjective measures since they don't give a clear picture when determining how one school compares to another. So, even if a school has a great team, it won't place well if it is also considered a low quality college or university.
We've developed a number of other tools and rankings to help you make your college decision. Start by filtering this list by location and then explore our other rankings that feature schools great for different groups of students such as online students or returnings adults.
