鈥淲e picked the 384 鈥榖est鈥 colleges for our book primarily for their outstanding academics: we highly recommend each one,鈥 said Robert Franek, The Princeton Review鈥檚 editor-in-chief and the book鈥檚 lead author. 鈥淗owever, we know applicants need far more than an academic rating or ranking to find the college that will be best for them. We created our 62 ranking lists to help narrow that search. They are based entirely on data we gather beyond academics that gives insight into what the schools鈥 enrolled students say about their professors, administrators, school services, campus culture and student life. In the end, it鈥檚 all about the fit.鈥
