College Raptor’s 2025 Best Colleges Rankings have arrived! These lists highlight top colleges and universities across the United States. We know that each student has unique considerations in what they are looking for in a school and we encourage students to use these rankings as a jumping off point in building their own “best colleges” list.
Each of these rankings is based on an analysis of data about the school’s selectivity, financial health, graduation rates, student success, and more. We’ve outlined our full methodology here.
