And, just to put in a little plug for my alma mater, UTA was listed as a "Best in the West."

However, I really don't get what Princeton Review is doing. For instance, why is there a "Best in the West" and a "Best in the Southwest." Oh, well, I don't have the time or inclinaton to look into such things.

Are you sure that wasn't "Best in Arlington, South of Collins"?
