Saint Mary’s receives ‘Best in Midwest’ honors

This summer, SMU was notified that it was one of 159 schools receiving the “Best in the Midwest” designation for 2009 from the Princeton Review, a national college guide and ranking program.

Each year, the Princeton Review profiles colleges and universities that “uphold the standards of the Best Midwestern College distinction and provide students with a wide breadth of excellent schools to consider.”

The 630 colleges named regional bests (212 in the Northeast, 139 in the Southeast, 159 in the Midwest, and 120 in the West) represent only about 25 percent of the nation’s 2,500 four-year colleges. For more information, go to www.princetonreview.com/best-regional-colleges.aspx.
