The short answer

Student survey responses across 80+ named categories; the publisher deliberately declines to publish a single overall order.

Best used for: Narrowing on a specific dimension — aid, advising, career services — once cost and academics are settled.

Published weighting

The factors and percentages the publisher states, normalised where the publisher expresses them differently.

  • Student survey responses100%

    Roughly 160,000 students surveyed

Where it helps and where it misleads

Strengths

  • Category lists answer specific questions rankings gloss over, like advising quality and aid satisfaction.
  • Refusing to publish one overall number is methodologically honest.
  • Long-running qualitative descriptions of campus culture.

Limitations

  • Only covers roughly 390 schools that cooperate with surveying.
  • Sample sizes per school are small and not published per category.
  • Commercially tied to a test-prep and admissions-services business.
