In the Princeton Review’s annual college rankings, released today, Princeton University topped the list of students happiest with their financial aid, a notable feat in a year in which student debt has drawn a lot of attention. Princeton, which is not connected with the Princeton Review, was followed by Stanford University and Pomona College in that category.
Students were least happy with their financial aid at New York University, Emerson College, and Pennsylvania State University, the survey found.
This year, the Princeton Review, best known as a test-prep company, introduced a new Green Rating for colleges. Eleven institutions received top honors in the category.
The rankings are based on a survey of 120,000 students at 368 colleges and are included in The Best 368 Colleges, the company’s annual book.
And, if anyone was wondering, this year’s top party school, according to the survey, is the University of Florida. —Beckie Supiano
