No. 1
In the 2008 edition of “America’s Best-Value Colleges,” published by The Princeton Review, Rice University is ranked as the nation’s No. 1 best value among private colleges. That’s the good news for students, but the good news from them can be found in the 2009 edition of Princeton Review’s “Best 368 Colleges.”
In that survey of 120,000 students attending the 368 colleges chosen for their outstanding academics, Rice ranks No. 2 nationally both for best quality of life and for plenty of interaction among students of different races and classes.
Rice has consistently ranked in the top 10 in both of these categories over the past several years and placed No. 1 in the 2007 edition. The university also ranks No. 15 for “happiest students.” Only about 15 percent of America’s 2,500 four-year colleges and two Canadian colleges are profiled in the book.Learn more:
