Hollins University has been named one of the country’s best institutions for undergraduate education in the 2013 edition of The Princeton Review’s The Best 377 Colleges.
Only about 15% of the nation’s 2,500 four-year colleges are profiled in the book, which is the educational service company’s flagship college guide.
“We commend Hollins for its outstanding academics, which is the primary criteria for our selection of schools for the book,” said Robert Franek, senior vice president at The Princeton Review and publisher and author of The Best 377 Colleges. “Our choices are based on institutional data we collect about schools, our visits to schools over the years, feedback we gather from students attending the schools, and the opinions of our staff and our 30-member National College Counselor Advisory Board.”
Hollins students note in the university’s profile that the school “feels like a community or family, not an institution,” and that “a Hollins education is nothing short of life-changing.” According to The Best 377 Colleges, “The women of Hollins describe themselves as ‘empowered, enthusiastic,’ ‘worldly, aware,’ ‘strong, and confident.’”
Hollins is also one of 135 colleges and universities The Princeton Review commends in the “Best in the Southeast” section of its Web site feature, “2013 Best Colleges: Region by Region.” The 12-state Southeast Region includes colleges in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.
