La Roche University issued the following announcement.
La Roche University ranks among the nation’s best colleges in the Northeast according to the Princeton Review.
The Princeton Review, a nationally renowned education services company, lists La Roche among its Best in the Northeast recommended schools in its 2021 Best Colleges: Region by Region website feature. For 17 consecutive years, The Princeton Review has ranked La Roche as one of the region’s best colleges for students to earn undergraduate degrees.
The feature is accessible at princetonreview.com/bestNEcolleges. La Roche is one of 224 best colleges listed alphabetically.
Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Howard J. Ishiyama, Ph.D., said, “La Roche University is committed to creating an academically challenging environment that produces a community of scholars and lifelong learners. Being consistently ranked as
a Best Northeastern College by The Princeton Review since 2005 affirms we are successfully living out our mission.”
The Princeton Review selects best regional schools for academic excellence. Editors made their selections based on data the company collected from its survey of administrators at several hundred colleges in each region, as well as its staff visits to schools over the years, and the perspectives of college counselors and advisers whose opinions the company solicits.
“We chose La Roche University and the other outstanding institutions on this list primarily for their academics,” Robert Franek, editor-in-chief of The Princeton Review, said. “We also consider what students enrolled at the schools reported to us on our student survey about their campus experiences.”
The Princeton Review survey asks students to rate their colleges on dozens of issues and to answer questions about themselves, their fellow students and campus life. Comments from surveyed students are quoted in the school profiles on The Princeton Review website.
The 224 colleges that The Princeton Review chose for its Best in the Northeast 2021 list are located in 11 states: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont – and the District of Columbia. Collectively the 655 colleges on The Princeton Review’s regional best lists for 2021 constitute about 23 percent of the nation’s four-year colleges.
