Middle Tennessee State University once again is receiving accolades from the education-services company The Princeton Review, joining 133 institutions recommended in the “Best in the Southeast” section of its website feature, “2011 Best Regional Colleges.”

Collectively, the 623 colleges named “regional best” constitute about 25 percent of the nation’s 2,500 four-year colleges.

The Princeton Review asked students to rate their schools based on accessibility of the professors, the quality of food and campus life in general. The company’s staff also based their evaluation on the quality of academic programs and observations during visits to campus over the years.

“We are proud to once again be listed among the ‘Best in the Southeast’ by The Princeton Review,” said MTSU President Sidney A. McPhee, noting that the company also gave the university the honor in 2008.

“We are committed to continuing Middle Tennessee State University’s long-standing tradition of offering our students outstanding academic programs in the kind of nurturing environment which addresses their individual needs. Our continued success is due to the hard work of our outstanding faculty and staff.”

“We’re pleased to recommend Middle Tennessee State University to users of our site as one of the best schools to earn their undergrad degree,” said Robert Franek, senior vice president/publishing for The Princeton Review. “We chose it and the other terrific institutions we name as ‘regional best’ colleges mainly for their excellent academic programs.”

The Princeton Review is a for-profit educational preparation company that offers test preparation for standardized achievement tests and advice on college admissions.

Forbes magazine ranked MTSU as the No. 1 public institution in Tennessee, as well as one of the Top 50 higher-education “Best Buys” in the nation and one of the top 100 U.S. public universities, in its 2009 “America’s Best Colleges” listing.

The following link will irritate anyone associated with MTSU, including students and especially taxpayers. Seems that students are flocking to Middle from Memphis and the per student funding is going in the opposite direction. So, they are pumping more money/student into less desirable Universities. What incentives do these other schools have to improve when they know their funding will decrease if they do so? Middle is getting screwed big time. I suppose the "squeaky wheel gets the grease".
