The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa<\/a> has earned a spot on The Princeton Review<\/em>\u2019s “Best 390 Colleges for 2025” list<\/a>, adding to its reputation as one of the nation\u2019s top institutions of higher education. The list was announced on August 27.<\/p>\n

The ranking is based on surveys completed by 168,000 students nationwide. The criteria include categories covering academics, amenities, campus services, extracurriculars and more. The schools included in “Best 390 Colleges for 2025” are not ranked from No<\/abbr>. 1–No<\/abbr>. 389, and feature the top 15% of four-year colleges in the U.S.<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition, The Princeton Review<\/em> placed UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa as one of the top 79 colleges in the west, and one of the top 522 “green” colleges, which recognizes the most environmentally responsible schools.<\/p>\n

“We are honored to be recognized among the nation\u2019s best colleges, a testament to the dedication of our faculty, staff and students,” UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Provost Michael Bruno said. “These rankings reflect our commitment to providing a world-class education while fostering a vibrant, inclusive campus community that prepares students for success in an ever-changing world.”<\/p>\n

“The colleges we profile in our book are truly a select group: they constitute about 15% of America\u2019s four-year institutions. We chose them primarily based on our high opinion of their academic offerings,” said Rob Franek, editor-in-chief of The Princeton Review<\/em> and author of The Best 390 Colleges. “The colleges that make our book\u2019s ranking lists do so entirely as a result of the opinions of their customers—students attending the colleges—who complete our 89-question survey about their school.”<\/p>\n
