(Media-Newswire.com) - University of California, San Diego, respected as one of the world’s most accomplished research institutions, was ranked as the sixth best value among public universities in the United States by the prestigious The Princeton Review.
UC San Diego ranked near the top in this category among all University of California campuses. UC Berkeley was ranked 5th while UC Santa Cruz was ranked 7th. The best value category is judged on the overall quality of the school compared to cost and financial aid.
The ranking lists the top 20 colleges in 62 categories in the 2009 edition of The Princeton Review's annual college guide, The Best 368 Colleges. Other ranking categories report on campus political leanings, race/class relations, social scenes and sports interests.
The ranking lists are based on surveys of 120,000 students at the 368 schools during the 2007-08 academic year and the previous two school years.
Nestled along the Pacific Ocean on 1,200 acres of coastal woodland, UC San Diego is a powerful magnet for those seeking a fresh, next-generation approach to education and research. Since its founding over four decades ago, UC San Diego has rapidly achieved the status as one of the top institutions in the nation for higher education and research.
