about what
The Princeton Review
says about Manchester
It’s a
fact: Manchester
is a
“Best Value,”
says
annual review
 Manchester College is one of
the nation’s “best overall values – based on cost and financial aid –
among the most academically outstanding colleges in the nation,” says
The Princeton Review in its 2007 guidebook, America’s Best Value
Colleges.
The annual listing includes
47 “little known gems” among private schools – including the
1,104-student Manchester College! The guidebook hit newsstands today,
with profiles of 150 “best” colleges in 40 states. The Princeton Review obtained its data and
determined best values by surveying students and administrators at 646
colleges and universities.
Here’s what an MC junior told
the reviewers: "I didn't want anyone to hold my hand. I was looking for
a school that would nurture and challenge me, and I found it." Students
also praised the variety of learning opportunities at Manchester,
including the popular January Session with study abroad programs and a
new Science Center.
Manchester has a firm hold on
“Best Value” and “Best College” rankings: The Princeton Review named
the college a 2005 and 2006 Best Value and U.S. News & Report has
listed MC as a “Best College” for 11 consecutive years.
“It’s hard
to pick a good college because of the number of variables to consider,”
said David F. McFadden, executive vice president. “We’re glad, but not
surprised, that we came out on top when The Princeton Review crunched
the numbers.
“Families
should take the magazine’s assessment that we’re a great college as an
invitation to dig in and learn more about us, to see if we’re a good
fit.”
Manchester, a Church of the Brethren college in northeast Indiana with
45 areas of baccalaureate study, is nationally recognized for its
accounting, pre-med, education and peace studies programs and has the
2002 U.S. Professor of the Year in art Professor James R.C. Adams.
