Belmont Named a 'Best in the Southeast' College by Princeton Review
Best Southeastern Seal.jpgBelmont University is one of the best colleges and universities in the Southeast according to The Princeton Review. The education services company selected the school as one of 141 institutions it recommends in its "Best in the Southeast" section of its Web site feature "2010 Best Colleges: Region by Region" that posted July 27.

Robert Franek, Princeton Review's vice president of publishing, said, "We chose Belmont University and the other terrific schools we recommend as our 'regional best' colleges primarily for their excellent academic programs. We also work to have our roster of 'regional best' colleges feature a range of institutions by size, selectivity, character and locale. We choose the schools based on institutional data we collect from several hundred schools in each region, our visits to schools over the years, and the opinions of independent and high school-based college advisors whose recommendations we invite. We also take into account what each school’s customers – their students – report to us about their campus experiences at them on our 80-question student survey." Click here for more on this story.
