 Virginia Wesleyan Featured in Princeton Review's
The Best 382 Colleges - 2018 Edition
Â鶹´«Ã½rtb is one of the nation's best for undergraduate education, according to The Princeton Review.
The education services company features VWU in the new 2018 edition of its guide, The Best 382 Colleges (Penguin Random House / Princeton Review, $24.99) Only about 15 percent of America's 2,500 four-year colleges and two colleges outside the U.S. are profiled in the book, which is one of The Princeton Review's most popular guides. "We chose Â鶹´«Ã½rtb for this book because it offers outstanding academics," said Robert Franek, Princeton Review's Editor-in-Chief and author of The Best 382 Colleges. In its profile on Virginia Wesleyan, The Princeton Review praises it for being "the quintessential small liberal arts university, providing undergraduates with a close-knit community where one can easily build strong relationships."
