College Consensus Publishes Aggregate Consensus Ranking of the 100 Best Small Colleges for 2021

HILLSBOROUGH, N.C., April 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- College Consensus (https://www.collegeconsensus.com), a unique college rating website that aggregates publisher rankings and student reviews, has published their ranking of the Best Small Colleges for 2021 at https://www.collegeconsensus.com/rankings/best-small-colleges/.

For many students, attending college is their first time away from the security of home and not all students are ready to take the big plunge into a large college setting. These students are looking for a smaller, close-knit college environment where they can feel a sense of community and get to know their peers and teachers.

With our ranking of the Best Small Colleges for 2021, College Consensus turns the focus on the little guys – schools with 3000 students or less. The best small colleges in the US are not small in reputation, and they're not small in influence. In fact, some of the best small colleges in America are also among the most exceptional, receiving national and international recognition for their overall excellence.
