Princeton Review College Rankings 2016: Adelphi University Named Best College In The Northeast

(Photo : CC: Flickr/ AU) The Princeton Review has named Adelphi University the best school in the Northeast.

Adelphi University in New York is the best college in the Northeastern region, according to The Princeton Review.
The Princeton Review recently ranked colleges with the happiest students based on reviews from 136,000 students at 380 top colleges. Students were asked to rate their schools on dozens of topics and report on their campus experiences. The ranking revealed Monday that the best university in the Northeast is Adelphi.
The private, nonsectarian university offers academic programs that "evolve to reflect the needs and interests of our close to 8,500 students from 41 states and 63 foreign countries," school officials told The Princeton Review.  Recent program additions include a B.F.A. in studio art for aspiring visual arts professionals, as well as new and updated bachelor's programs in criminal justice administration, computer management and information sciences, and school psychology.
"Our 62 ranking lists provide students with a way to see the types of colleges that could help them achieve their future goals and dreams," Robert Franek, Princeton Review's senior vice president-publisher, said in a statement. "Every college in our book has outstanding academics. While our purpose is not to crown one college academically 'best' overall or to rank the schools 1 to 380 on any single topic, our lists provide direct student feedback on the schools' campus culture, program offerings and cost. Our goal is to help applicants choose and get into their dream college -- the college best for them."
