The website feature salutes a total of 656 colleges that The Princeton Review recommends over five regions: Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, West, and International. The colleges that made the “Best in the Northeast” list are located in eleven Northeastern states and the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n

“We chose Elizabethtown College and the other outstanding institutions on this list 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,” Franek added.<\/p>\n

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. Comments from surveyed students are quoted in the school profiles on The Princeton Review website.<\/p>\n

In its website profile on Elizabethtown College, The Princeton Review shares a student describing the college faculty stating, “They really take an interest not just in your school work, but are eager to know about your personal life and are willing to do anything to help you succeed.”<\/p>\n
