Brandeis named a Best Value College for 2022 by The Princeton Review

The Princeton Review has once again chosen Brandeis as one of the best-value colleges in the U.S. The annually-released list names the public and private colleges that have earned the education services company's highest Return on Investment (ROI) rating—a score the company tallies using more than 40 data points.The ratings are based on analyses that review more than 40 data points. They cover academic offerings, cost/financial aid, career placement services, graduation rates, and student debt as well as alumni salary levels and job satisfaction.

The Princeton Review chose 209 schools for its 2022 list based on its survey of more than 650 institutions during the 2020-21 school year. To tally the ROI ratings, the company analyzed school-reported data on academics, cost/financial aid, career services, student debt, and graduation rates. Data on the levels of job satisfaction and salary of school alumni also factored into the tallies. The list of the 209 Best Value Colleges is not ranked hierarchically from 1 to 209.

"The schools we chose as our Best Value Colleges for 2022 are a select group: they comprise only about 7% of the nation’s four-year undergraduate institutions,” said Rob Franek, editor-in-chief of The Princeton Review. “We commend their administrators, faculties, staff, and alumni for all they are doing to educate their students and guide them to success in their careers. These colleges are also exceptional for the generous amount of financial aid they award to students with need and/or for their comparatively low cost of attendance.”

“Based on the overwhelming response to our offers of admission this year, it’s clear that talented high school students and their families recognize the great value in a Brandeis education,” said Jennifer Walker, Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid at Brandeis. “It is gratifying to have confirmation of what we already know; that Brandeis not only delivers top-notch academics and financial aid, but that students graduate ready to tackle their next challenges.”
