Angelo State Maintains National ‘Best College’ Ranking by The Princeton Review
September 02, 2021

For the 13th consecutive year, Angelo State University has been listed by The Princeton Review as one of the country’s best institutions for undergraduate education, an honor that goes to only about 14% of the nation’s more than 2,700 four-year colleges.
“We salute Angelo State University for its outstanding academics, and we are genuinely pleased to recommend ASU to prospective applicants searching for their ‘best-fit’ college,” said Rob Franek, TPR editor-in-chief.
“To once again be recognized by The Princeton Review is a testament to the character and ‘grit’ of the entire Ram Family,” said ASU President Ronnie Hawkins Jr. “It has truly been a team effort as we pulled together, overcame numerous obstacles, and embraced opportunities to continue providing the educational and student life experiences our students need to be successful and significant.”
The 85-question TPR survey asks students to rate their own schools on numerous topics and report on their campus experiences. Topics range from assessments of academics and professors to campus culture and student life.
In a “Survey Says” sidebar included in Angelo State’s profile in the print edition of “The Best 387 Colleges,” ASU students were in most agreement about several of their survey answers, including:
- Lots of conservative students
- Students are happy
- School is well run
- Diverse student types interact on campus
- Students get along with local community
- Intramural sports are popular
Additionally, on a scale of 60-99, ASU received a Green Rating of 84, a Financial Aid Rating of 84, a Quality of Life Rating of 93, and a Fire Safety Rating of 96.
Besides making the list of “The Best 387 Colleges,” ASU is also among the institutions in 15 western states listed in TPR’s “2022 Best Colleges Region by Region” website feature. ASU is listed in the “Best Western” regional section at princetonreview.com/college-rankings?rankings=best-western.
