JMU cited as a best value college
James Madison
University's students find an environment that is "comfortable and
conducive to learning," according to surveys conducted by the Princeton
Review, which profiled JMU in "The Best Value Colleges: 2013 Edition."
JMU is one of
150 institutions – 75 public and 75 private undergraduate institutions –
included in the book, which was published Feb. 5. Schools were selected from
650 colleges at which the Princeton Review conducted institutional and student
surveys for the project in 2011-12.
The annual guide
features profiles of the schools with detailed information about their
academics, cost and financial aid. Of the 75 schools in each group, the top 10
colleges are ranked 1 to 10, and the remaining 65 are listed in alphabetical
order and unranked.
JMU was listed
in the Princeton Review's "Best Value Colleges" guides in 2009, 2010,
2011 and 2012.

private-schools lists can be viewed at http://www.princetonreview.com/best-value-colleges.aspx and http://bestvaluecolleges.usatoday.com.
