Princeton University

With 90% of students graduating within four years, Princeton is proud of their high graduation rate. The rates get even higher for six years, with 98% graduating. 97%% of freshman decide to stay in the school after their first year, resulting in Princeton being one of the top not-for-profits for first year retention.

Currently, Princeton has about 850 full time faculty members, each a leading member of their field. This results in a 5 to 1 student to faculty ratio. The school also offers other learning opportunities including ROTC (Air Force, Army, or Navy), study abroad, and over 53 certification programs.

On top of all this, the university is one of the top most diverse schools in the country. They see students from all over the world, but a majority do come from New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and California.
