"We are honored to be recognized among the best undergraduate institutions in the country and take great pride in providing an exceptional undergraduate education and campus experience,” says Andrew T. Hsu, president at the College of Charleston. “At the College, our students are not just numbers; our faculty and staff work closely with students to know them, support them and help them succeed. Through our Life Design program, we also help undergraduate students chart a path toward their ambitions and dreams, connecting their education to the lives and careers they hope to build.”
The Princeton Review selected colleges for the book based on data collected from surveys of more than 172,000 students attending the colleges and sharing their campus experiences. The company also reviews data from surveys of college students attending other schools.
Only about 14% of America’s 2,400 four-year colleges are profiled in the publication.
"The colleges we profile in The Best 392 Colleges vary by type, size, locale, and campus culture. In our opinion, each one offers an academically outstanding undergraduate education," said Rob Franek, lead author of the book and Editor-in-Chief at The Princeton Review. "The colleges that make our ranking lists in the book do so entirely as a result of their own students' opinions of them," Franek added.
