The Princeton Review Recognizes Mount Saint Vincent as one of the “The Best Northeastern Colleges”

8/29/2006

The University of Mount Saint Vincent is one of 222 select colleges and universities in the Northeast that The Princeton Review recommends to applicants in the new 2007 edition of its guide, The Best Northeastern Colleges.

Robert Franek, V.P., Publishing, The Princeton Review says, “the schools in this book all have excellent academic programs.  We chose them from several hundred Northeastern schools we considered based on institutional data we collect about the schools, our surveys of students attending them, and our visits to schools over the years.  We also worked to have a wide representation of colleges in the book by size, selectivity, character and locale.” The Best Northeastern Colleges 2007 Edition includes schools in eleven states and the District of Columbia.

The Princeton Review surveyed 58,000 students at the 222 schools in the book. Students were asked to rate their schools on several matters ranging from the teaching ability of their professors to the campus food.  These candid student responses are included in the institutional profiles. Students surveyed at Mount Saint Vincent praised the College’s small classes, and diverse and inclusive population. Students also reported that they benefit from “a community where everyone is willing to help each other grow as a student and as a person.”

Mount Saint Vincent’s inclusion in The Best Northeastern Colleges 2007 Edition recognizes the quality and strength of the College’s faculty, students and academic programs.  These programs include more than 30 undergraduate majors and masters degree programs in nursing and urban and multicultural education.

The Princeton Review’s publications, including The Best Northeastern Colleges 2007 Edition are available through Random House Publishing.   Known for its education, admission and test-prep services, The Princeton Review is not affiliated with Princeton University or ETS.

Founded in 1847 the University of Mount Saint Vincent is a co-educational, independent institution rooted in the spirit and mission of the Sisters of Charity and committed to the liberal arts. The College’s undergraduate and master’s level degree programs prepare its uncommonly diverse students for lives of professional achievement and service.
