For "Best Career Services," Clemson University (SC) captured the top spot. Princeton University (NJ) was #1 for "Great Financial Aid" while Claremont McKenna College (CA) for the second consecutive year ranked #1 for "Their Students Love These Colleges."
That list names the colleges in the book at which students reported the highest satisfaction with their school.
"Our 62 ranking lists provide students with a way to see the types of colleges that could help them achieve their future goals and dreams," said Robert Franek, Princeton Review's Senior VP-Publisher.
"Every college in our book has outstanding academics. While our purpose is not to crown one college academically 'best' overall or to rank the schools 1 to 380 on any single topic, our lists provide direct student feedback on the schools' campus culture, program offerings and cost.
"Our goal is to help applicants choose and get into their dream college—the college best for them."
