About Alfred University
Alfred University is one of the nation’s best institutions for undergraduate
education, according the Princeton Review.
The New York-based firm features Alfred University is its 2006 edition of
The Best 361 Colleges. Only 15 percent of the nearly 4,000 colleges and
universities in the United States and two Canadian colleges are included in
the guide, which features two-page profiles on each of the schools, along
with survey-based rankings of the top 20 colleges in various categories.
Alfred University is ranked 14th in the nation for “Students Happy with
Financial Aid,” and 18th for “Best College Radio Station.”
“Alfred provides a cozy community that students, professors and
administrators enjoy,” according to the Princeton Review profile. “One
student says, ‘There is excellent interaction between students and
professors; and with small classes, the faculty can devote more time to
teaching each individual student.’… No wonder the students tell us ‘the
level of personal connection here, all across the board, is exceptional.’”
While Alfred University’s rural location might dissuade some prospective
students, current students reported to the Princeton Review that “the school
is really good about bring different performers and movies into town every
weekend while art shows, visiting lecturers in every division and over a
hundred clubs and activities help round out the schedule.”
The news of Alfred University being included in The Best 361 Colleges
followed the announcement that US News & World Report ranks AU 14th among
master’s level institutions in the North, the most competitive of the
regions with 111 private colleges and 64 State University of New York units

Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
Additionally, US News ranked Alfred University as second in the North on its
list of “best values,” what it calls “Great schools at a great price.”
