[quote=Anonymous]"To help students identify the public colleges that really do help freshmen graduate and go on to earn high salaries, MONEY screened through PayScale’s just-released return-on-investment data.

Our analysis of the public colleges where at least 80% of freshmen graduate within six years, and at least half finish in four years, holds some surprises. A few states dominate the list, for example. Five of the public schools with the best returns on investment are in California, four in Virginia, and two in New Jersey."
