Lee University Named “A Best in the Southeast” College by the Princeton Review
Lee University is one of the best colleges in the Southeast according to the nationally known education services company, The Princeton Review.
Lee is one of 133 institutions The Princeton Review recommends in its “Best in the Southeast” section of its website feature, “2011 Best Colleges: Region by Region,” posted on PrincetonReview.com.
Robert Franek, Princeton Review’s Senior VP for Publishing, said, “We’re pleased to recommend Lee University to users of our site as one of the best schools to earn their undergrad degree. We chose it and the other terrific institutions we name as ‘regional best’ colleges mainly for their excellent academic programs.”
From several hundred schools in each region, The Princeton Review formed their list based on institutional data collected directly from the schools, visits to schools over the years, and the opinions of their staff, plus college counselors and advisors recommendations.
“We’re pleased to once again be chosen by Princeton Review this year, “said Lee VP for Enrollment Phil Cook. “While we strive to offer a top-notch education in a Christ-centered environment, it is important to use external indicators like this to check our work.”
“More students each year are finding out first-hand about the kind of excellence built into a Lee education,” he said, “and we’re glad to continue getting high marks from Princeton Review.”
The Princeton Review also takes into account what students at the schools reported to us about their campus experiences on a student survey. Students rated their own school on several issues — from the accessibility of their professors to quality of the campus food — and answer questions about themselves, their fellow students, and their campus life.
According to the Review, students at Lee say that professors are “inspirational” and “get to know you by name,” while the administration is “helpful, approachable and very involved.”
The 133 colleges The Princeton Review chose for its “Best in the Southeast” designations are located in twelve states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.
The Princeton Review has been a pioneer and leader in helping students achieve their higher education goals for more than 28 years through college and graduate school test preparation and tutoring.
Lee University is a private, comprehensive university located in Cleveland, Tennessee. It has become one of the largest Christ-centered institutions in the nation.
