West Virginia University issued the following statement on rankings released by The Princeton Review:

“The schools on this list are mostly large, public universities with strong academic and research profiles, as well as highly successful athletic programs.

“But in the big picture, clearly this list has no real credibility.

“As always, we focus on celebrating and supporting WVU’s long history of academic achievements. Our students, faculty, alumni, parents and friends have made it clear that is their focus as well.

“Our students come to school here and have a great time, but more importantly – they have an extraordinary academic experience.”
