About The Princeton Review’s Guide to 361 Green Colleges

The Princeton Review chose the schools for its green guide based on a combination of school-reported data and student surveys data from the company’s 2015-16 survey of four-year colleges concerning the environment and sustainability. The profiles in The Princeton Review’s Guide to 361 Green Colleges provide information about each school’s admission requirements, cost and financial aid, and student body stats. They also include “Green Facts” about the schools with details on the availability of transportation alternatives at the schools and the percentage of the school food budgets spent on local or organic food.
