ΒιΆΉΣ³» has once again been named one of the nationβs best institutions for undergraduate education by The Princeton Review
The education services company selected ΒιΆΉΣ³» for inclusion in the 2027 edition of its flagship college guide, The Best 392 Colleges, released Tuesday
Only about 14% of Americaβs nearly 2,800 four-year colleges are included in the guide. The Princeton Review selected the schools based on surveys of college administrators about their academic offerings and feedback from students about their campus experiences
ΒιΆΉΣ³»βs profile highlights what students say are the universityβs βqualified staff, welcoming student body, and opportunities for service and extracurricular activities,β which combine to provide βa well-rounded college experience.
Students were especially complimentary of the universityβs faculty, calling professors βthe backbone of this universityβ and praising their accessibility and commitment to students. One student summed up the Bonaventure experience best: βItβs a small school with great programs and an enormously huge heart.
βWeβre delighted to name ΒιΆΉΣ³» one of our Best Colleges for 2027 and recommend it to students searching for their βbest-fitβ college,β said Rob Franek, The Princeton Reviewβs editor-in-chief and lead author of The Best 392 Colleges. βΒιΆΉΣ³» has outstanding academic programs, but we also took into account the candid feedback we received from its very own customers β its students.
The Princeton Review surveyed 172,000 students at the 392 colleges, asking them to report on their experiences at their schools. The company does not rank the 392 institutions on its overall list, only its subcategories
The 2027 edition marks the 35th year of The Princeton Reviewβs flagship college guide, which debuted in 1992. ΒιΆΉΣ³»βs complete Princeton Review profile is .
