NASHVILLE, Tenn. — West Virginia Wesleyan College has been recognized by an online service as one of the top schools in the southeast.

OnlineSchoolsCenter.com recently released their list of the Hidden Gems of the Southeast! This list introduces potential students to some of the best colleges and universities across the United States that receive less recognition, yet have the same prestige, as more popular and well-known schools.

These schools may not be as well-known to most people across the country, but those who do know them understand just how impressive and prestigious they are. While some students may prefer to go to a school that has hundreds of students in each classroom, students at these schools enjoy the pleasure of a learning environment that gives them a stance that is respected and listened to. Students at these hidden gems have outstanding educations, notable diplomas, and beautiful spaces in which to grow as a student.

According to lead researcher and writer, Rowan Jones, “These schools represent twenty-five of the best schools in the country. Applicants to and students of any one of these colleges or universities can be exceedingly proud of their school, and rest assured that they are receiving a fabulous education.”
