Princeton Review Features Guilford in 2022 Guide


Guilford College is one of the nation’s best institutions for undergraduates, according to The Princeton Review. The education-services company profiles and recommends Guilford in the 2022 edition of its annual college guide, The Best 387 Colleges.

“It makes me happy to see Guilford College once again recognized by The Princeton Review,” says Provost Maria Rosales. “I am proud every day of the people who work and study here and who make this college such an excellent educational experience for our students.”  

Read Guilford's profile on The Princeton Review website.

“We salute Guilford College for its outstanding academics, and we are genuinely pleased to recommend it to prospective applicants searching for their ‘best-fit’ college,” says Rob Franek, The Princeton Review’s editor in chief and lead author of The Best 387 Colleges.

Only about 14 percent of America’s 2,700 four-year colleges are profiled in the book, which is one of The Princeton Review’s most popular publications. The company chooses the colleges based on data it annually collects from administrators at hundreds of colleges about their institutions’ academic offerings. The Princeton Review also considers data it gathers from its surveys of college students at the colleges who rate and report on various aspects of their campus and community experiences.

The Princeton Review does not rank the colleges in the book from 1 to 387. For this, the 30th anniversary edition of the book, the company curated “Great Lists” of colleges in 26 categories. The lists name the colleges that have had a distinctive history of appearances on the ranking lists in past editions of the book over the years. Each list names 16-29 colleges in alphabetical (not ranked) order.

Guilford is on the following “Great Lists” in The Best 387 Colleges — Best Southeastern, Great College Radio Station, Green Colleges, and the Top 50 Green Colleges.

The Best 387 Colleges is one of 150 Princeton Review books in a line published by Penguin Random House. It has been featured on NBC TODAY many times and referenced by reporters in publications from Inside Higher Education to The Wall Street Journal.
