Lynchburg College is one of the nation's best institutions for undergraduate education, according to The Princeton Review's 2009 edition, The Best 368 Colleges. Only about 15 percent of the 2,500 four-year colleges in America were chosen for the guide.
LC is one of the 138 colleges named a "Best Southeastern College" by The Princeton Review. In the 2009 edition, students praise Lynchburg College for its "tight-knit" community and solid liberal arts education that helps "to prepare them for life."
Robert Franek, The Princeton Review's vice president of publishing, said, "We chose schools for this book primarily for their outstanding academics. 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. Finally, we work to have a wide representation of colleges in the book by region, size, selectivity and character."
The ranking lists in the 2009 edition of Best 368 Colleges are based on The Princeton Review's survey of 120,000 students (about 325 per campus on average).
