St. John’s Cited in The Princeton Review 2026 Best Colleges Rankings

St. John’s University is on several lists published by The Princeton Review®, which recently reported its 2026 Best Colleges rankings based directly on student feedback.

The company’s 50 categories of college rankings are posted on PrincetonReview.com and published in The Best 391 Colleges: 2026 Edition. St. John’s University is cited on the following lists: 

• Best Colleges: Northeast Region
• Green Colleges
• The Best 391 Colleges 

“To be recognized as one of the top schools in the Northeast and among the nation’s most environmentally responsible institutions is a source of pride for all Johnnies,” said Simon G. Møller, Ph.D., Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs. “This honor reflects St. John’s strong academics, commitment to sustainability, and the positive experiences shared by our students.”

According to The Princeton Review®, all ranking lists are based on surveys of students who rate their own colleges on dozens of topics and report on their campus experiences. The rankings are based on data from the company’s surveys of 170,000 students at the 391 schools included in the book. The surveys were conducted in 2024–25 and/or the previous two academic years. 

Widely known for its multiple categories of student survey–based ranking lists, The Princeton Review’s popular college guide is in its 34th annual edition. “The colleges we profile in our ‘Best Colleges’ book are a truly select group and constitute only about 15 percent of America’s nearly 2,400 four-year institutions,” said Rob Franek, Editor-in-Chief at The Princeton Review and the book’s lead author. “The colleges that make our ranking lists do so entirely as a result of their own students’ opinions of them.”
