The Princeton Review recently released its 2025 list of best colleges, and 26 schools in Massachusetts made the list.
As one of the country’s leading education services companies, the Princeton Review prepares students for college through test preparation, admissions support and popular college rankings.
Their list of the best 390 colleges, which is released annually, is entirely based on student surveys. The company asks thousands of students across the country various questions about academics, administration, campus life, the student body at their school and personal experiences at their school.
After gathering the survey data, the Princeton Review creates a list of the best schools, which means schools with the highest consensus rankings across the most categories. See which colleges in Massachusetts made the cut below.
