The Princeton Review's Guide to Green Colleges: 2025 Edition includes SUNY Geneseo as one of its 511 featured “green colleges.” Schools selected for the annual guide demonstrate a commitment to the environment and sustainability in areas that include dining options, policies, and more.

The Princeton Review chose the colleges for this edition based on its 2023–24 survey of administrators at nearly 600 colleges about their institutions' sustainability-related policies, practices, and programs. The company also surveyed students attending the colleges about their "green" campus experiences. Data from the student survey included student assessments of the influence of sustainability issues on their academic and campus experiences; administrator and student support for environmental awareness and conservation efforts; and the visibility and impact of student environmental groups on the campus.

SUNY Geneseo was included in Princeton Review's The Best 390 Colleges: 2025 Edition and their "Best Regional Colleges: Northeast" list, which came out earlier this summer. 

The Princeton Review has published its Green Guide annually since 2010.
