The Princeton Review’s list of the top colleges in the country does not include a ranking. The organization simply selects 391 universities that it feels stand above the crowd.
New Jersey had 10 entrees in the Princeton Review’s 2026 Rankings of the 391 Best Colleges.
- Here’s the list, alphabetically:
- Drew
- Monmouth
- NJIT
- Princeton
- Rider
- Rowan
- Rutgers-New Brunswick
- Seton Hall
- Stevens
- TCNJ
That being said, the Princeton review does provide some categorial lists. Three schools stood out.
NJIT: It was ranked No. 27 for value and No. 10 for job placement among public schools.
Princeton: It was ranked No. 1 for value and No. 5 for job placement among private schools;
