Hollins University is featured among the country’s top colleges and universities in the 2008 edition of The Princeton Review’s annual book, Best 366 Colleges. Only about 15% of the four-year colleges in America and two Canadian colleges were selected for the book this year.

"We chose schools for this book primarily for their outstanding academics," said The Princeton Review’s Robert Franek. "We evaluated them based on institutional data we collect about the schools, feedback from students attending them, and our visits to schools over the years. We also consider the opinions of independent college counselors, students and parents we hear from year-long."

In The Princeton Review’s profile of the university, Hollins students surveyed cited the school’s small classes and great library. And, Hollins’ quality of life, academics, admissions and financial aid ratings all increased this year over last.

The Best 366 Colleges is among the country’s most popular college guides and strives to have a wide representation of colleges by region, size, selectivity and character.
