[quote=Anonymous]This methodology definitely shows how state policies impact higher ed.  It definitely favors California where state subsidizes higher ed, lots of aid for poverty, but good incomes for well-educated due to HCOL.  7 schools in CA are in the top 20 and 18 are in the top 100!  Whereas TX is another large state and has none in the top 20, and only 3 in the top 100.VA has 6 schools--all public but 1- in the top 100 under this methodology--which is also a strong showing. (VA:  UVA 30, W&M 51, W&L 63, VT 75, GMU 91, JMU 96.)  Interestingly MA has 10 schools and PA has 7 schools in the top 100 but they are ALL private.  These numbers basically show you though that many states don't even have 1 college/university, let alone 1 public university that falls in the top 100 of affordability/return on investment.  (22 states don't have a single college or university that makes the top 100, and many more don't have a public college/university that does).  So the idea that your in-state public provides the best return on investment/affordability REALLY depends on what state you are in.
