A&M at or near the top of another SEC academic ranking.

Shocking.

Actually, the way you have it sorted is not by ROI. Click on the column with ROI.

By ROI with financial aide, AU ranked #31 in overall and second only to A&M in the SEC.

ROI is the most accurate way to rank since it takes into account cost and eventual return. Your rankings are by absolute dollars (the way it is sorted).

Makes sense. LSU is relatively cheap compared to other SEC schools and a lot of folks move to Houston and work for some of the most profitable companies in the world (oil & gas).

While I'm happy my school ranks highly, I am despondent about paying for my kids to go there.

This shite is out of control expensive.

ROI is a pretty good measure. Neat list.

This doesn't make sense to me. Florida hovers around a top 50 academic undergrad with one of the lowest tuition rates in the country.

Why do most AU people act like AU is so far ahead academically compared to Bama? Both are really good state schools, especially to be their size competing against each other. Both have made great strides academically over the last few years. Neither are ivy league schools. Why can't we just be proud to say we have two quality institutions in our great State?
