Princeton Review Names Lee University “One Of Best Colleges In Southeast”

  • Thursday, October 7, 2021

Lee University is one of the 143 best colleges in the Southeast, according to The Princeton Review, a leading tutoring, test prep, and college admission services company.

In its recent website article, “2022 Best Colleges: Region by Region,” The Princeton Review recommends a total of 654 colleges throughout five regions: Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, West, and International. Of these 654 schools, which constitute just 23 percent of the nation’s four-year colleges, 143 made the “Best in the Southeast” list.

"We chose Lee primarily for their academics," said Robert Franek, The Princeton Review's editor-in-chief. He noted that the company considered data from its survey of administrators at several hundred colleges in each region, information from staff visits to schools over the years, and the opinions of college counselors and advisors whose perspectives the company solicits. "We also consider what students enrolled at the schools reported to us on our student survey about their campus experiences."

The Princeton Review survey asks students to rate their colleges on dozens of issues and to answer questions about themselves, their fellow students, and their campus life. Colleges are rated in scores from 60 to 99 in categories such as academics, professors, financial aid, fire safety, and quality of life.

“We are grateful for this recognition by the Princeton Review,” said Lee President Dr. Mark Walker. “The ranking assures that we are maintaining high standards and serving our students well.”

The Princeton Review helps millions of college and graduate school-bound students achieve their education and career goals through online and in person courses delivered by a network of over 4,000 teachers and tutors, online resources, and through more than 150 print and digital books published by Penguin Random House. Its Tutor.com brand is the largest online tutoring service in the United States, comprising thousands of tutors who have delivered more than 15 million one-to-one tutoring sessions.
