The Princeton Review recently published their annual college rankings. While we often caution clients against relying on rankings in order to determine their college list, we know that students and parents are still going to look at them! You can find list on most aspects of college life, from food to race/class interaction. In fact, you can also take a look at our own rankings here that take into account the US News, Forbes, and Academic Rankings of World Universities systems of comparison.
While the rankings do provide interesting information, students should consider using the lists to create questions for when they have the opportunity to visit the college campus. This will allow the student to obtain insights on the campus (such as food quality or more importantly, academics) directly from a source (such as a tour guide).
