Best Colleges in the US

College Magazine researches and reveals the best colleges in the U.S.

Every university comes with its own unique personality. You can’t swipe right or left on their profiles on your phone, but our guides can help you find your perfect match. All of our articles are written by students at your campus.

Find out what it’s like to go to each school before sending over your deposit. Do students hang outside and play Frisbee like on college brochures? Or do they live at the library and cower in direct sunlight?

A university or college website can only tell you so much. We asked students about their school’s vibe, the hookup culture on their campus, the party scene, popular students organizations and more. Our university guides make you feel like you stepped on campus yourself.
