Taylor University Named One of the Nation’s Best Colleges by Princeton Review

 

Taylor University has been recognized as one of the best universities in the nation by The Princeton Review in the newly released The Best 390 Colleges: 2025 Edition.

Taylor is one of only five member institutions of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) to be included in the Best Colleges guide, and the only Christian university in Indiana included.

“What is interesting about the Princeton Review’s approach is its focus on a selective and qualitative assessment, rather than the standard statistical numbers game used in other rankings,” said Dr. D. Michael Lindsay, President of Taylor University. “Being included in The Best Colleges guide is not only a third-party validation of the quality of a Taylor University education but also a reflection of its appeal and distinction. The Princeton Review ranking aligns with our own surveys, which showed that 97% of this year's graduating seniors would choose Taylor again.”

Taylor achieved rankings in several subcategories of the guide, including:

• #3 in the nation for Happiest Students
• #8 in the nation for Best Colleges for Intramural Sports
• #11 in the nation for Best-Run Colleges
• #25 in the nation for Most Loved Colleges

These rankings are indicative of the tremendous growth Taylor is experiencing, including welcoming the largest class in the school’s history this fall. The University is excited to continue building on this momentum by expanding academic programs, enhancing campus life, and fostering a vibrant, Christ-centered community that attracts even more mission-aligned and talented students. Looking ahead, Taylor is committed to further strengthening its national reputation as a leader in Christian higher education.

The Princeton Review profiles only 15% of America’s 2,600 four-year colleges in the guide. Colleges are selected based on data collected annually from surveys of 2,000 college administrators regarding their institutions' academic offerings, as well as feedback from 168,000 students who report on their experiences at the 390 schools represented in the guide.
