Every year The Princeton Review publishes The Best 361 Colleges: The Smart Student’s Guide to Colleges, which includes the top 20 schools ranked in descending order in 62 different categories. These ranking are determined by student surveys done at each school by The Princeton Review. The extensive survey, which includes more than 60 questions, is divided into four sections — “About Yourself,” “Your School’s Academics/Administration,” “Students,” and “Life at Your School.”  In this year’s 2007 edition, Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts placed prominently in many categories.
