IOWA CITY, Iowa, Aug. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- College Raptor, the most accurate search site for estimating the true cost of college, released their 2020 Best Colleges Rankings. Millions of families use CollegeRaptor.com each year, and the public trusts Raptor's rankings to be a great entry point for discovering their personalized cost and fit at each school.
For the fifth straight year, College Raptor has crowned Princeton University as the best college in the U.S. Other institutions featured as the best in their regions include Duke University in the Southeast, the University of Chicago in the Midwest, and the California Institute of Technology in the Southwest.
In addition to College Raptor's overall Best Colleges, the company added new lists that highlight schools that are affordable, retain and support their students, and get them to graduation on time. New this year are rankings for "Best Colleges With an Average Net Price Under $15K," "Best Colleges Without Application Fees," "Best Test-Optional Colleges," and "Best Colleges With the Highest Acceptance Rates."
College Raptor believes that ranking institutions is important, but a college's rank isn't the only factor a family should consider.

"Academic caliber, graduation rates, expected starting salary, and countless other factors are a lot to consider when weighing college options. Our rankings are designed to highlight the best schools in different categories to help families get started in the discovery process," said Bill Staib, College Raptor's CEO.
