by our College Data Analytics TeamWhen it comes to choosing a college, student athletes have a lot of options - but not all of them are good. College Factual has developed its Best Colleges for Division II Women's Lacrosse in the Middle Atlantic Region ranking as one item you can use to help make this decision.
Our analysis looked at 31 schools in the Middle Atlantic Region to determine which ones were the best for D2 Women's Lacrosse athletes in the Middle Atlantic Region. Instead of depending on subjective information, we focus on objective factors to determine this ranking. These factors include such things as the athletic competitiveness of the school and the school's overall quality. This means that a school must provide students with a great education in addition to having a good sports team if it wants to rank well.
We know that one set of rankings doesn't always help you determine the best school for you, so we've created the ability to narrow your list by location as well as alternative rankings that prioritize different factors such as those of importance to online students or returning adults or those who value diversity and value for your money.
