Every year since 1992, the Princeton Review has asked students across the U.S. to rate their college’s or university’s academics and administration, life at their college, their fellow students and themselves to find out how these institutions compare with one another.

The review’s 2025 best college rankings, published Tuesday, is based on surveys of 168,000 students, conducted in 2023–’24 and/or the previous two academic years.

Students rated each of 85 questions on a five-point scale — from strongly agree to strongly disagree; excellent to poor. Researchers used these scores, computed out to several percentage points, to tally the ranked lists.
