San Diego State University has been listed as one of the nation’s best institutions for undergraduate education by the Princeton Review.
The listings, which are published in the 2017 edition of “The Best 381 Colleges,” are based on surveys of 143,000 students attending 2500 four-year colleges across the country. Students rated everything from their financial aid to on-campus food, and only about 15 percent of America’s four-year colleges made the cut.
“We are proud that the Princeton Review has recognized the quality of our programs,” said SDSU President Elliot Hirshman. “This ranking is a testament to the efforts of our faculty, staff and students and to our campus-wide focus on educational excellence.”
The Princeton Review rated universities based on admissions, academics, financial aid, quality of life and sustainability efforts.
“San Diego State’s outstanding academics are the chief reason we chose it for this book and we strongly recommend it to applicants,” said Robert Franek, senior vice president and publisher of the Princeton Review and author of “The Best 381 Colleges.”
“The Best 381 Colleges” does not rank colleges 1 to 381, but rather highlights the top schools in the country. Published annually since 1992, it includes detailed profiles of the colleges with rating scores in eight categories.
