WILMINGTON, N.C. – The University of North Carolina at Wilmington has been named a 2005 Best College in the Southeastern Region by the Princeton Review.

PrincetonReview.com features student opinion data from 708 schools in five regions of the United States. UNCW is one of 136 schools to receive the “Best in the Southeast” designation.

Colleges were selected based on their academic excellence within their region and on anonymous surveys of their students conducted by Princeton Review.

The Princeton Review is a New York City-based company known for its test prep courses, education services and books. It has conducted the survey since 1992, when it first published its annual “Best Colleges,” the only guide offering college rankings based on student ratings of their schools and reports of their experiences at them.
