According to the 2017 edition of the Princeton Review’s college guide “The Best 381 Colleges,” the University of New Orleans is one of the best institutions in the United States for undergraduate education.

Being included in the guide makes UNO one of only three public colleges to make the list.

The guide has been published on an annual basis since 1992 and includes approximately 15 percent of the United States’ 2,500 four-year institutions. The book includes profiles on all schools included as well as ratings in eight different categories and a list that ranks the top 20 schools in 62 categories that is compiled by surveys conducted by the Princeton Review of the students who attend the colleges.

“We make our selections primarily based on our annual surveys of administrators at several hundred four-year colleges,” Robert Franek, senior vice president of the Princeton Review and the publisher of the guide, said. “Additionally, we give considerable weight to observations from our school visits, opinions of our staff and our 24-member National College Counselor Advisory Board, and an unparalleled amount of feedback we get from our surveys of students attending these schools.”
