The College of Charleston is one of the country’s best institutions for undergraduate education, according to The Princeton Review.  The education services company features the school in the new 2011 edition of its annual college guide, “The Best 373 Colleges”

Only about 15% of America’s 2,500 four-year colleges and two Canadian colleges are profiled in the book, which is The Princeton Review’s flagship college guide.  It includes detailed profiles of the colleges with rating scores for all schools in eight categories, plus ranking lists of top 20 schools in 62 categories based on The Princeton Review’s surveys of students attending the colleges.

The Review praised the College for its “prime location and relatively low tuition.”  It goes on to say “Charleston is quite competitive, and standards are a bit higher still for out-of-state applicants.  Expect more personalized treatment here than you would receive from Clemson or the University of South Carolina.”

The College of Charleston also ranked number 15 on the Reviews’ list of “Best College Towns”.
