HARTSVILLE — Coker College is one of the best colleges in the Southeast according to The Princeton Review. The education services company recommends Coker as one of the top institutions in the Southeast in the 2010 Best Colleges feature at http://www.princetonreview.com. This is the sixth consecutive year Coker has received the “Best in the Southeast” distinction.
The Princeton Review selects its best colleges based on excellence of academic programs and the opinions of independent and high school college advisors. The firm also surveys students at each institution about their campus experiences and the quality of the living and learning environment.
“We’re happy to be listed among the best once again by The Princeton Review,” said Coker College President Dr. Robert L. Wyatt. “Such recognition reaffirms our commitment to providing the finest educational experiences for our current students and it helps future students know more about the college.”
The 141 colleges The Princeton Review chose for its 2010 “Best in the Southeast” designations are in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The Princeton Review also chose 218 colleges in the Northeast, 123 in the West, and 158 in the Midwest as best in their regions. These best regional colleges represent only about 25% of the nation’s four-year colleges.
Coker is an independent, comprehensive liberal arts college founded in 1908. The living and learning environment at Coker fosters participation in the community of scholarship and the development of ethical character, leadership skills and social responsibility. Coker’s unique round table teaching style is nationally recognized for developing leadership and communication skills.

Reader Reactions
Princeton Review is an organization that ranks colleges and gives prospective student information about universities, and they have just released their Party Schools 2009 list or the universities that are known for student carousing. Penn State University, University of Florida, Gainesville, Fla., University of Mississippi, Oxford, Miss., University of Georgia, Athens, Ga., are the top 5 schools according to Princeton Review. It’s not a good thing to get in the Princeton Review for, and these schools would likely give emergency cash loans to withdraw from the list.
