Ramapo College of New Jersey is one of the nation's best value undergraduate institutions according to The Princeton Review.  The New York-based education services company features the school in the new 2008 edition of its book, America's Best Value Colleges.  The guide profiles 165 colleges chosen for their excellent academics, generous financial aid packages and/or relatively low costs of attendance.   In its narrative profile on Ramapo College in the book, The Princeton Review's editors commend the school for "achieving a level of success in 37 years that some older colleges have yet to grasp."

The Princeton Review selected the schools for the book based on data it obtained from administrators at more than 650 colleges during the 2005-06 academic year, and its surveys of students attending the schools.  The publication considers over 30 factors to identify thier 'best value' colleges.  They cover four areas: Academics, Tuition GPA (the sticker price minus average amount students receive in scholarships and grants), Financial Aid (how well colleges meet students' financial need), and Student Borrowing. 

America's Best Value Colleges has three-page profiles on the colleges and lists of the top 10 best value private colleges and the top 10 best value public colleges overall in the book.  The Princeton Review does not rank the schools in the book 1 to 165.  The book also has advice about applying for college admission and financial aid.  The Princeton Review is an education services company known for its test-prep courses, books, and college and grad school admissions services.  It is not a magazine and it is not affiliated with Princeton University or ETS.
