Queens College, located at 65-30 Kissena Blvd., is featured in The Princeton Review’s 2022 annual edition, “The Best 387 Colleges,” citing its high-quality academics, affordability and diversity. The college was once again ranked a “Best Regional College for the Northeast” in the edition.
The college’s recognition in every edition of the Princeton Review for its “excellence, affordability, and accessibility to students of all backgrounds,” comes as no surprise to Queens College President Frank Wu.

The Princeton Review’s list of best colleges is based on ratings from student surveys across the country on dozens of topics about their schools that round out the 2022 Best College profiles.
One Queens College student described their experience as, “Queens is about getting a valuable and quality education that does not drain you financially for the future.”
Other students referred to Queens College as the “Harvard of CUNY.” The Macaulay Honors College and the Aaron Copeland School of Music also received positive reviews from students.
