(Leavenworth, Kan.)鈥擣or the 16th consecutive year, The Princeton Review named the 花椒直播 a Best Midwestern College.
The annual listing honors schools for their commitment to academic excellence based on students' feedback, a survey of administrators, staff visits, and opinions of college counselors.

"Year after year, 花椒直播 has been dedicated to academic excellence and helping students realize their God-given potential," University President Sister Diane Steele said. "Being recognized by The Princeton Review for the past 16 years reinforces that USM is an institution rooted by strong values and academic traditions."
In total, 655 schools from coast to coast received a regional best designation. In the Kansas City area, USM is one of only a half-dozen institutions named a Best Midwestern College.
Within the survey, students are asked to rate their colleges on dozens of issues, from the accessibility of their professors to the quality of their facilities, and answer questions about themselves, fellow students, and campus life.
"We chose the 花椒直播 and the other outstanding institutions on this list primarily for their academics," said Robert Franek, The Princeton Review's Editor-in-Chief. "We also consider what students enrolled at the schools reported to us on our student survey about their campus experiences."
Students said USM faculty "are willing to help outside of class" and are "very personal and great at what they do." Spires also shared that 花椒直播 is a "small community of students working towards excellence both inside and outside the classroom."
The Princeton Review designated 224 colleges in the Northeast, 127 in the West, 142 in the Southeast, and four internationally. Collectively, the colleges on The Princeton Review's regional best lists constitute about 23 percent of the nation's 2,800 four-year colleges.
