As it happens, also tied at 28th, the University of Florida is the most affordable public school for in-state students ($6,381/year) and Florida State University tied at 53rd, is the most affordable for out-of-staters at $21,683/year.

At least UF has bragging rights over FSU where it really matters.

Quite a laughable list. only a couple of serious ones on that list. And high comedy that 95% of that list is clearly inferior to Texas Tech, Colorado School of Mines, and many other schools... as judged by kind of the graduates they turn out. Hell, even William and Mary are judged as better?

Same old self congratulation society survey. lol

The best universitites are the ones that can say “they” instead of “he” or “she,” and still think they’re making sense.

Put the average Brown, or Columbia graduate in ANY discipline up against ANY graduate of Colorado School of Mines. Do it on live TV.... not even close.

None of the evaluative criteria even attempts to rate the school based on the quality of education.

Graduation rates, peer review, debt... WTF is this?

Only graduation rates even concern the student, the rest is just junk. Why don’t they throw in how many electric cars the school uses, or how many minority and female professors teach there (enviro and diversity trash could be added to the formula)...

What a load of garbage. How about they rate the students as to rioting based on false information?

They should add the number of Pro-Pali demonstrations, anti-Semitic demonstrations, the number of time Palis have taken over classrooms, and how many times the administration stood down while all that was happening.

First, I agree with the several posts concerning students at schools like Colorado School of Mines.

The sticker price at a private school is just a starting point for negotiation.

Large state schools can deliver their product at low cost in large part because of large class size. If you are a self-disciplined person, they can be a real bargain.

In the old days, colleges weeded out those who weren’t motivated. Nowadays, they tolerate the not-motivated and open themselves up to a disruptive, ideologically-driven element. They also tolerate under-achievers among minorities and such, which only leads to frustration and then criticism of objective standards. These two groups of students simply aren’t worth it and, more so, ruin college for others.

Columbia is an outstanding university cultivating scientists that are in high-demand for the tech commercial sectors. So you might want to reconsider that challenge. Regarding Brown, you may very well be correct :)

Large state schools generally have lower tuition for in-state students.

But the private/Ivys all seem to be around the same cost.

I’m currently covering two college kids. One is attending a private “best”, the other isn’t (not top ranked). The other is ironically costing me more. I can’t wait for this to end... lol

For best Universities, I would cut out the first 16 and start with Rice.

Being compiled by the leftist media and seeing Berkley and Harvard up there is confirming the list is pure unadulterated bullshit. Both of those outfits do nothing but crank out America hating leftists.

How many of those fine institutions have implemented “Bias Response Teams” whereby students can blow the whistle on other students or faculty that have exhibited real or imagined bias against protected groups?

The list is here (scroll down to the end):
