RANKED: America’s Top 500 Colleges And Universities For 2019; Who’s No. 1?

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) came out on top and Princeton University was second in a new study by WalletHub, which released its 2019 ranking of the best colleges and universities in America.

The study ranks the top-performing colleges and universities in the U.S. at the lowest possible costs. Call it Ivy League. Call it the great eight. Call it the elite eight. But, whatever you do, don’t downplay who’s No. 1.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is No. 1.

Princeton University was ranked as No. 2 on the list and Yale University claimed the No. 3 spot.

Other Ivy League universities also placed high — after Princeton and Yale, Harvard placed at No. 4 on the list, the University of Pennsylvania placed at No. 7, Columbia University placed at No. 8, Brown University placed at No. 13, Dartmouth College placed at No. 22, and Cornell University placed at No. 31.

The ranking was based on a survey of almost 1,000 institutions across the country, which looked at 30 metrics such as admission rate, costs, student-faculty ratio and more.
