Hello and welcome to IntroAmerica’s latest feature on college rankings!

Here we show you two different rankings of major colleges side-by-side. This is to help you and your family to evaluate your many choices when it comes to higher education. This month, we feature the Forbes Magazine’s list and Princeton Review’s list of top universities. Both lists track many universities and colleges across all countries, but we are only focusing on their best-ranked U.S. schools.

Remember, more important than the prestige of a college is its ability to suit your personal and academic needs.
