The Princeton Review Names Berry College a "Best Value College" for 2025

Berry College is one of the nation's best colleges for students seeking a great education with excellent career services and at a relatively affordable price, according to a new list by The Princeton Review®.

The education services company named Berry College to its list of Best Value Colleges for 2025 in June. Criteria covered everything from academics, cost and financial aid to graduation rates and student debt.

“Inclusion on this list signifies that our rigorous academics, distinctive LifeWorks program, and residential experiences lead to strong graduation outcomes that are on par with the top schools in the country. Our continued work to make a Berry education affordable ensures access to students regardless of their socio-economic status,” said Andrew Bressette, Berry Vice President for Enrollment Management.

The Princeton Review chose 209 schools for its 2025 “Best Value Colleges” list. The selections were primarily based on data from the company's surveys of administrators at more than 650 colleges in 2024–2025.

Princeton Review also factored in data from its surveys of students attending the schools as well as data from PayScale.com’s surveys of alumni of the schools about their starting and mid-career salaries and job satisfaction.

“We congratulate Berry College along with all of the other exceptional institutions that made our 'Best Value Colleges for 2025' list,” said Rob Franek, Editor-in-Chief of The Princeton Review. “They offer outstanding academics and excellent career services, and they demonstrate extraordinary commitments to affordability via generous financial aid and/or comparatively low sticker prices. For all of those reasons — and more — we recommend them highly to college applicants.”
