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.

I was referring to the new New College, not the old. I don't deny that there were some problems there, but this cure -- the 'purge,' as you call it -- has put the school in a condition far worse than the original disease. New College used to be quirky, maybe somewhat flakey, but with solid underlying academics (good students, passionate profs, respectable results for an institution of its kind). Now it's just an exercise in academic ineptitude. By any relevant metric, the school is now much worse that it was three or four years ago.

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

I've never heard of Princeton Review be referred to as "non credible". Then none of these rankings are credible with that litmus test.

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).

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.

Entire list is public schools, so you don't have to click the link.

Makes sense. That's why they are 3 of the most selective public universities. Great educations at a great value.

Georgia Tech, UVA and UNC top the list.
