Lawrence Today magazine, Summer 2005
Lawrence University has been named one of the nation’s “best value” undergraduate
institutions by The Princeton Review. The New York-based education-services
company chose Lawrence as one of 81 schools it recommends in the 2006 edition
of its book, America’s
Best Value Colleges.
The book is a guide to colleges with outstanding academics, generous financial
aid packages, and relatively low costs. It includes public and private colleges
and universities in 35 states. Lawrence’s recognition as a “best
value” institution puts it among the top five percent of all four-year
colleges and universities in the country.
The Princeton Review selected schools for the book based on data the
company obtained from administrators at more than 350 colleges and surveys
of students
attending them. More than 30 factors were used in determining the ratings.
