EMU named a "Best in Midwest" college by The Princeton Review

Eastern Michigan University is one of the best colleges in the Midwest for the eighth consecutive year, according to the nationally known education services company, The Princeton Review.  

SIMPLY THE BEST: For the eighth consecutive year, EMU was named one of the best colleges in the Midwest by The Princeton Review.

Eastern was selected as one of 152 institutions The Review recommends in its "Best in the Midwest" section of its website feature, "2011 Best Colleges: Region by Region," on PrincetonReview.com.

In the profile on Eastern on its site, The Princeton Review describes an Eastern education as "a great value." EMU announced a "0,0,0" freeze on tuition and fees, room and board for the coming academic year - the only public university in Michigan to freeze tuition this year.

The Review bases its selections on a school's academic programs. It also takes into account student responses on an 80-question survey for the yearly project.

"We are excited to be selected for this honor, particularly because the designation is based on academics and reports from our students," said EMU President Susan Martin. "It's an affirmation that we put students, affordability and education first at Eastern."
