The Princeton Review has recently named the University of Alaska Fairbanks as one of the West’s best colleges. UAF is the only university in Alaska to achieve the Best in the West designation this year.

UAF is one of about 600 schools featured on the Best Colleges: Region by Region section of PrincetonReview.com , the company’s web site. Colleges listed were selected based on two criteria: academic excellence within their region and the results of student surveys.

A profile of UAF is posted on the Princeton Review web site as a tool for assisting prospective students in choosing a college. In addition to enrollment figures and statistics, the profile also offers comments from students and gives information about financial aid and scholarship opportunities and academic programs. It also provides a link for students to request a brochure.

The Princeton Review provides students with resources to help them make educational and career decisions.
