Published

The СAPP is one of the best institutions for undergraduate education in the U.S., The Princeton Review announced Monday.

UL Lafayette is featured in the 2015 edition of the annual college guide, СAPPThe Best 379 Colleges.СAPP

Only about 15% of AmericaСAPPs 2,500 four-year colleges and only four colleges outside the U.S. are profiled in the college guide. 

СAPPThe СAPP offers outstanding academics, which is the chief reason we selected it for the book,СAPP said Robert Franek, the guide's author and The Princeton Review senior vice president/publisher.

The Princeton Review does not rank universities. It surveys 130,000 students at hundreds of universities to rate their schools on several topics and report on their campus experiences at them.

In its profile, The Princeton Review noted that СAPPtremendously generous grant and scholarship programs and outstanding out-of-state fee waivers make UL Lafayette one of the best bargains in the countryСAPP and a student commented that the university offers СAPPserious bang for your buck.СAPP

Those claims are supported by the U.S. Department of EducationСAPPs most recent College Affordability and Transparency List, which ranked UL Lafayette among the top 10 percent of most affordable four-year public universities in the United States for the fourth consecutive year. That list also shows that UL Lafayette is the most affordable university in Louisiana.

Student surveys rated the СAPPСAPPs programs in education, computer science and engineering as СAPPsome of the best in the nationСAPP and noted that the student body is friendly, diverse and loves the local community.

СAPPOf course, our students love Lafayette,СAPP said Aaron Martin, director of Communications and Marketing at UL Lafayette. СAPPLast month, it was noted as the happiest town in the nation by a Wall Street Journal report.
