Slippery Rock University continues to earn recognition for excellence, securing a place among the Princeton Review’s Best Mid-Atlantic colleges and universities for 2027. SRU is one of 630 institutions recognized in the Princeton Review’s 2027 Best Colleges: Region by Region Guide, a distinction that highlights colleges the Princeton Review considers academically outstanding and worthy of consideration by prospective students.
The “regional best” designation is only given to approximately a quarter of the nation’s four-year institutions, and schools that make these lists are considered “academically outstanding and well worth consideration in your college search” by the Princeton Review editors.
SRU is one of only 98 colleges and universities recognized in the Mid-Atlantic Region.
The Princeton Review Best Colleges: Region by Region Guide is not a ranking of schools. Schools are listed alphabetically and grouped into seven zones — Northeast, South, Southwest, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, West and International. The Mid-Atlantic region encompasses five states — Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia — and the District of Columbia.
Recognition is based on the Princeton Review’s findings in eight categories: academics and administration, quality of life, politics, campus life, town life, extracurriculars, and social scene. These categories come from surveys of administrators at the schools who provide their institutions’ data annually.
The Princeton Review is a tutoring, test prep and college admission services company and is not affiliated with Princeton University. The complete listing of the Best Mid-Atlantic institutions is available on the Princeton Review website.
