Geneseo is again on The Princeton Review's list of the nation's best colleges.
GENESEO, N.Y. – SUNY Geneseo is one of the nation's best colleges for students seeking a superb education with great career preparation and at an affordable price, according to The Princeton Review.
The education services company features Geneseo in the 2018 edition of its just published book, “Colleges That Pay You Back: The 200 Schools That Give You the Best Bang for Your Tuition Buck.”
The Princeton Review chose the schools based on data it collected in 2016-17 from its surveys of administrators at more than 650 colleges. The company also factored in data from its surveys of students attending the schools and surveys of schools alumni that PayScale.com conducted through April 2017.
The company crunched more than 40 data points to tally return on investment ratings of the colleges, which determined the selection of the 200 schools for the book. Topics covered everything from academics, cost, and financial aid to graduation rates, student debt, alumni salaries and job satisfaction.
The Princeton Review website details the ranked school profiles and the book's seven categories of ranking lists.
"We salute SUNY Geneseo and all of our ‘Colleges That Pay You Back’ schools,” said Robert Franek, the Princeton Review’s editor-in-chief and lead author of the book. “They stand out for their outstanding academics and their affordability via generous financial aid to students with need and/or comparatively low sticker price. Students at these college also have access to extraordinary career services from their freshman year on, plus a lifetime of valuable alumni support.”
In the book’s profile of Geneseo, editors write that “there is an incredible balance between an Ivy League atmosphere of liberal arts learning and new technology for the hard science majors.”
