The New York-based education services company features the College of Charleston in the new 2008 edition of its book, "America's Best Value Colleges".
Specific citations from the Princeton Review about the College of Charleston include:
"C of C is attracting a growing number of out-of-staters drawn by the school's liberal arts reputation, small classes and personalized attention unavailable at most public universities."
"Academically, students boast that their Charleston experience is anything but the public university stereotype, with six specialized colleges to choose from and lot of student-professor interaction."
"We considered over 30 factors to identify our 'best value' colleges," says Robert Franek, V.P.-Publishing for the Princeton Review. "They covered four areas: Academics, Tuition, Financial Aid, and Student Borrowing.
