Your thoughts on the new Forbes college rankings

[OwenExplorer]

Hey folks! Saw the new Forbes college rankings for 2025, and yep - Princeton snagged the #1 spot again for the second year in a row. Meanwhile, Rice made a surprise leap into the top 10, which honestly caught me off guard

UC Berkeley's still leading the charge among state schools (four years running), and no shocker here - MIT and Stanford are dominating in tech-focused programs as usual.

Here's the full list if you wanna dig into it:
Forbes America's Top Colleges List 2025

But let's talk:

Do you think Princeton really deserves to be #1 again?
And does this list actually reflect what students care about these days?
Any schools you think got snubbed or ranked too high?

Drop your thoughts Curious to hear what everyone thinks!

honestly? princeton being #1 again feels a bit lazy on forbes’ part lol
like yeah, it’s a great school, but are we just recycling the same top 3 forever? i was lowkey hoping to see some shake-up
also, kinda wild how rice climbed so high, good for them tho
i’m more impressed by how strong some state schools are showing up this year
they don’t get enough love, and yet they’re killing it without the ivy price tag
