Anderson University Named “Best in Southeast” by Princeton Review
August 11, 2014
AU gains mention for 10th straight year
ANDERSON, SC – For the 10th year in a row, Anderson University is one of the best colleges in the Southeast according to The Princeton Review. The nationally-known education services company recommends the school as one of 139 institutions in twelve Southeastern states it names to its “Best in the Southeast” list for 2015. The list is part of the Company’s website feature, “2015 Best Colleges: Region by Region” that posted on PrincetonReview.com on August 4, 2014.
Says Robert Franek, Princeton Review’s Senior VP / Publisher, “We developed our “Best Colleges: Region by Region” lists to offer guidance for the growing number of students and parents now seeking colleges closer to home. We selected Anderson University — and the other terrific institutions on our ‘regional best’ lists — primarily for their excellent academic offerings.”
The Princeton Review editors narrowed their choices based on institutional data the Company collected directly from several hundred colleges in each region, staff visits to schools over the years, and the opinions college counselors and advisors whose recommendations the Company invites. Franek added, “Our selections also take into account what students at the schools report to us about their experiences at them on our 80-question student survey for this project. We ask every question that a prospective applicant might want to ask on a campus visit.
The 139 colleges that The Princeton Review chose for its “Best in the Southeast” 2015 list are located in twelve states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The Princeton Review also designated 226 colleges in the Northeast, 124 in the West, and 159 in the Midwest as best in their locales on the company’s “2015 Best Colleges: Region by Region” lists. Collectively, the 648 colleges named “regional best(s)” constitute about 25% of the nation’s 2,500 four-year colleges.
