U of R Makes Princeton Review

The University of Redlands has been included in the 2015 Princeton Review’s America’s 379 Best Colleges Guidebook, ranked #11 nationwide in the class interaction list and is also one of only 124 colleges to be to be deemed a Best Western college. The high level of class interaction is thanks to the University of Redlands' student-to-faculty ratio of 12:1. The smaller class sizes and personal attention from professors shows the commitment that the University of Redlands has to foster student learning within the framework of its liberal arts mission. According to students surveyed by Princeton Review, “Professors are friendly, always prepared and willing to help you with anything.” Another student comment reported, “Whatever the case, there are endless academic opportunities for a student at University of Redlands.” The rankings are based on surveys of 130,000 students (average 343 per campus) at the colleges in the book in 2013-14 and/or the previous two school years. The survey asks students 80 questions about their school's academics, administration, student body and themselves. The ranking methodology uses a five-point Likert scale to convert qualitative student assessments into quantitative data for school-to-school comparisons. "Every college in our book offers outstanding academics," said Robert Franek, the guide's author and Princeton Review Senior VP/Publisher. "These colleges differ significantly in their program offerings, campus culture, locales, and cost. We present our 62 ranking lists to give applicants the broader base of campus feedback to choose the college that's best for them." The Princeton Review also rates all schools in the book in eight categories. The ratings (scores from 60 to 99) are based primarily on data from Princeton Review's 2013-14 surveys of administrators at the colleges. Rating categories include: financial aid, green, and fire safety (schools scoring 99 in these categories make the book's Honor Rolls for those topics), plus admissions selectivity, and academics. The Princeton Review also takes into account input obtained from staff, its 35-member National College Counselor Advisory Board, personal visits to schools, and the wide range of feedback collected from its surveys of students attending the selected schools.
