Georgia Tech, UVA and UNC top the list.

Makes sense. That's why they are 3 of the most selective public universities. Great educations at a great value. |
Entire list is public schools, so you don't have to click the link. |
But is best value limited to instate students? Some of those are quite pricey OOO. |
Has to be…though GA Tech would probably still be #1 because it is also good value for OOS. May also figure in average need-based aid as well. |
Yeah, must be. Michigan is like private school prices for OOS. So in some sense this is a little not helpful because if you're seeking VALUE, your real choices are different than this list (though Georgia Tech is a pretty great value even out of state). |
On what conception of value could New College count as a "best value" (#24 on the publics list, above Ohio State, UMinn, CU Boulder, and other reputable schools)? Its presence on the list discredits the list. |
I've never heard of Princeton Review be referred to as "non credible". Then none of these rankings are credible with that litmus test. |
List leans tech.

Don't sleep on New College. It's set to surge in the rankings over the next 5-10 years. DeSantis purged it of all the woke bull crap, thank Christ. |
Wtf does “featured” mean? Schools that pay to have extra stuff added? |
Yes. |
The list is meaningless unless you are instate. I would like to see best value list for out of state students.
UVA is way way overpriced for out of state students and SUNY/CUNY schools such as Binghamton, Baruch and the Florida schools on list are a good deal out of state. Pitt for instance is expensive OOS and cheap on merit aid |
This really has to be the dumbest list, ever. Value depends on what the individual student has to pay. Is Lafayette, or Washington & Lee or Babson a good "value" at $90k per year! Absolutely not!! Not saying you won't still get a good education. But value depends on what you, personally, have to pay. Stupid list. |
