Berea
College is the nation’s #2 best value private college according
to The Princeton Review. The New York-based education services
company features it on its "Top 10 Best Value Private Colleges" ranking
list and profiles the school in the 2007 edition of its book, America’s
Best Value Colleges (Random House / Princeton Review, $18.95),
published today. The book has profiles of 150 colleges chosen for
their excellent academics, generous financial aid packages and
relatively low costs. It includes 103 public and 47 private colleges
in 40 states.
The Princeton Review compiled the ranking list and chose the
colleges for the book based on data the company obtained from
administrators at 646 colleges, and its surveys of students attending
them. Says Robert Franek, V.P-Publishing, The Princeton Review, "We
considered over 30 factors to rate the colleges in four categories:
Academics, Tuition GPA (the sticker price minus average amount
students receive in gift aid scholarships and grants), Financial
Aid (how well colleges meet students' financial need), and Student
Borrowing. We recommend the 150 schools in this book as America's
best college education deals for 2006." The
Princeton Review will post a complete list of the schools in the book on its website on
March 28.
America’s Best Value Colleges has three-page profiles
on the colleges, ranking lists of the top 10 best value private
colleges and top 10 best value public colleges, and advice about
applying for college admission and financial aid. It is one of
more than 200 Princeton Review books published by Random House
in a line that includes the annual Best 361 Colleges. Known for
its test-prep courses, books, and college and grad school admissions
services, The Princeton Review is an education services company
not affiliated with Princeton University or ETS.
