According to a survey by The Princeton Review that asked 120,000 students at 368 top colleges to rate their schools on dozens of topics and report on their campus experiences, the best professors are at Middlebury College (VT). The tastiest campus food is at Wheaton College (IL) and the best dorms are at Loyola College (MD). The students happiest with their financial aid attend Princeton University, which also tops the list for the most beautiful campus.
Ranking lists report the top 20 colleges in these and over 50 other categories in the 2009 edition of The Princeton Review’s annual college guide Best 368 Colleges. Other ranking categories report on campus political leanings, race/class relations, social scenes and sports interests.
The book also includes ratings (numerical scores from 60 to 99) on each college profile in eight categories tallied by The Princeton Review. Among them is a new Green Rating based on the schools’ environmentally-related practices, policies and course offerings. The book’s ranking lists and school profiles are posted on PrincetonReview.com.
