The College of Charleston is one of the nation’s best institutions for undergraduate education, according to The Princeton Review. The education services company features the school in the new, 2016 edition of its annual college guide, “The Best 380 Colleges”.

According to the publication, “The College of Charleston consistently provides great academics, meaningful experiences to engage with the city, and fantastic people who want to do fantastic things.”

Only about 15 percent of America’s 2,500 four-year colleges (and only four colleges located outside the United States) are profiled in the book, which is The Princeton Review’s flagship college guide. “The Best 380 Colleges” includes detailed profiles of the colleges and rates the colleges in eight categories. The book also includes 62 specialized “Top 20” lists of schools based on The Princeton Review’s surveys of 130,000 students attending the colleges. The College, for example, ranked No. 18 this year for the list “College City Gets High Marks.”

This is the 12th year in a row that the College of Charleston has been honored by The Princeton Review.
