Thursday, July 30, 2009 UNI named to Princeton Review's 2010 'Best in the Midwest' roster of colleges CEDAR FALLS, Iowa -- The University of Northern Iowa is one of an elite group of 158 colleges on the Princeton Review's list of "Best in the Midwest" for 2010. The annual college listings, released July 27, are based on standards of academic excellence, along with anonymous student surveys, site visits and independent invited recommendations.
Schools are named "as our 'regional best' colleges primarily for their excellent academic programs," said Robert Franek, Princeton Review's senior vice president and publisher. "We selected them based on institutional data we collected from several hundred schools in each region, our visits to schools over the years and the opinions of independent and high school-based college advisers whose recommendations we invite."
Princeton Review divides the country into four regions and, this year, identified 640 colleges as "regional bests," adding that this figure represents about 25 percent of the nation's 2,500 four-year colleges. In addition to the Midwest, the company designated 218 colleges in the Northeast, 123 in the West and 141 in the Southeast as best in their locales.
