Eastern Michigan University has been recognized as a "Best
Midwestern College" for 2007 by The Princeton Review. It
marks the fourth consecutive year that EMU has received
the honor, which is part of the book, "The Best 361 Colleges" (Random
House/Princeton Review, $21.95).
"This is one of the best endorsements any university can
get because it comes directly from the students," said
John Fallon, president of Eastern Michigan University.

BEST IN MIDWEST: For the fourth
consecutive
year, Eastern Michigan
University was named a
"Best
Midwestern College" by The
Princeton Review.
|
EMU was one of 163 institutions to earn the designation
of "Best Midwestern College." The recognition is based
solely on a survey of 115,000 students at 361 colleges.
The 80-question survey asks students about their school's
academics/administration, campus life, student body and
themselves.
"We consider these colleges the best in the nation academically," said
Robert Franek, author of the book.
"The greatest strength of EMU is its broad diversity!" said
one undergraduate student in the survey. "Students come
from a wide variety of 'social, economic, political, and
cultural backgrounds, and there are a 'large number of
international and nontraditional students' on campus," noted
the student.
In general, EMU students describe their fellow students
as "nice and easy to become friends with."
"Eastern is a melting pot in a way, so there really isn't
an atypical student," said another student.
