Brooklyn College was again ranked one of the country’s premier institutions of higher learning, in The Princeton Review’s Best 390 Colleges, 2025. Only about 15% of the United States’ 2,600 four-year colleges are profiled in the book. The Princeton Review chooses the colleges based on data it annually collects from surveys of 2,000 college administrators about their institutions’ academic offerings. The company also reviews data from its surveys of college students attending the schools who report on their experiences at their institutions. Brooklyn College also appears on The Princeton Review’s lists of Best Value Colleges, which uses a combination of institutional and student survey data, including academic rigor, affordability, and career outcomes for graduates, among others. The college was also included on The Princeton Review lists of Best Northeast Colleges, and Green Colleges. The 2025 edition of the book, released on August 27, features student reviews.
