Once again, St. John’s University is featured on several lists published by The Princeton Review®, which just reported its 2027 The Best 392 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 392 Colleges: 2027 Edition. St. John’s University is cited on the following lists:
• Best Northeastern list
• Green Colleges list
• Fire Safety Honor Roll
• Mental Health Honor Roll 2026
“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 St. John’s University,” said Simon G. Møller, Ph.D., Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs. “This honor reflects St. John’s strong commitment to student success, academics, sustainability, and the positive experiences shared by our students.”
According to The Princeton Review®, the rankings are entirely based on the company’s surveys of students attending the schools in the book who reported on their campus experiences at their schools. Surveys of 172,000 students (about 439 per school on average) were tallied for the rankings in The Best 392 Colleges.
“The colleges that make our ranking lists in the book do so entirely as a result of their own students’ opinions of them,” said Rob Franek, lead author of the book and Editor-in-Chief at The Princeton Review. “We don’t rank the schools on a single hierarchical list, nor have we ever crowned one college ‘best’ overall. No school is best overall.”
He added, “In our opinion, each one offers an academically outstanding undergraduate education. They are truly a select group: they comprise only about 14 percent of America’s nearly 2,800 four-year colleges.”
