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.

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?

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.

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):

I love these lists.

And, their rank is...quantifiable!

Brown and Duke are usually just outside the Top 10, but both of them made it.

Brown - alma mater of Hermione Granger (aka - Emma Watson), the brightest witch of her age, according to Gary Oldman!

UC Berkeley is almost always in the Top 10, but they crashed to 15. I blame Gavin Newsom.

Now they recommend you spend six years to get that four year degree, and they PRODUCE THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST?

I remember when my son enrolled at ECU in 2008. The School Promo flyer recommended you take 12 hours per semester for five years to get your four year degree, and to have the time of your life.

The school called in Guyana and told me a month after enrollment that he still needed his Student Loan Application signed by me, his parent. I told them I paid cash for his education by check; they told me it was a requirement to fill out a Student Loan Application. I told them I would not. The damn Dean then called me for the same. I asked him why and he said when they pushed student loans it was a money maker for the school and helped keep the costs of an overall education limited to five years.... Those student loans were for 17,000 USD and the fourth year was 19,000.

I paid cash for four years costing me 50,500 USD and made my son get a job. When he didn’t do his 15 hours, I sent him to summer sessions with no trips to Guyana, Hong Kong, Spain or Rio de Janeiro, as he was accustomed to living with a dad in the State Dept.

When he was finished with his four year degree, I gave him a second degree in one year, then his MA in two. It damn near killed me, but nobody is in debt.

Had he attended this new recommended six years for a 4 year degree I only shutter to think about the debt amassed for the average student.

My son got two BA’s and a MA for the price of six years student loans on daddy’s dime, and part time work.
