For the ninth consecutive year, The Princeton Review has recognized Pitt-Bradford as one of the best colleges in its region.

Pitt-Bradford was one of 222 institutions profiled in the “Best in the Northeast” section of its PrincetonReview.com feature “2013 Best Colleges: Region by Region.”

Said Robert Franek, Princeton Review’s senior vice president and publisher: “we winnowed our list based on institutional data we collected directly from the schools, our visits to schools over the years, and the opinions of our staff, plus college counselors and advisers whose recommendations we invite. We also take into account what students at the schools reported to us about their campus experiences at them on our 80-question student survey.”

The 633 colleges nationwide named “regional best” constitute about 25 percent of the country’s 2,500 four-year colleges.

In addition to being recognized as a regional best, Pitt-Bradford also was named a Best Value College for 2012.
