Geneseo Featured in Princeton Review's ‘Colleges That Pay You Back: 2017 Edition’

Colleges That Pay You Back

GENESEO, N.Y. – SUNY Geneseo is one of the nation's best colleges for students seeking a superb education with great career preparation and at an affordable price according to The Princeton Review.

The education services company features the school in the 2017 edition of its just published book, “Colleges That Pay You Back: The 200 Schools That Give You the Best Bang for Your Tuition Buck.”

The company also posted its school profiles and the book's seven categories of ranking lists on its website. The editors chose the schools based on ROI (return on investment) ratings it tallied for 650 schools last year. The ratings weighted 40 data points that covered everything from academics, cost, and financial aid to graduation rates, student debt, and alumni salaries and job satisfaction.  The editors cullled data from the company's surveys of administrators and students in 2015-16 and from PayScale.com's surveys of school alumni conducted through April 2016.

"We highly recommend Geneseo and all of the colleges in the publication,” said Robert Franek, Princeton Review senior vice president and publisher and lead author of the book. “They stand out not only for their outstanding academics but also for their affordability via comparatively low sticker prices and/or generous financial aid to students with need, or both. Students at these colleges also have access to extraordinary career services programs from their freshman year on, plus a lifetime of alumni connection and post-grad support.”

In the book’s profile of Geneseo, editors praise the school for providing “an outstanding education at an affordable price” and for its “intimate environment, which promotes close student-teacher interaction, providing students with the chance to explore the varied curriculum in an in-depth and comprehensive manner.”
