For the 23rd consecutive year, UNC Greensboro has been recognized as one of the nation’s best institutions for undergraduates in the Princeton Review’s “Best 387 Colleges” guide. 

UNCG is one of six UNC System institutions to be included in the guide.

Only about 14% of the country’s 2,800 four-year colleges are profiled in the guide. The Princeton Review chooses the colleges for the book 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 154,000 college students who rate and report on various aspects of their campus and community experiences for this project, including financial aid, career services, dining, and more.

Feedback from the student survey highlights the personalized support and attention students receive, despite UNCG being one of the state’s largest universities. Students also emphasized the beauty of campus and the diversity of the student body.
