The 736 schools that provide the best value for your tuition dollar.
-Initial cut. MONEY screened out schools with graduation rates below the median and those facing financial difficulties.
-Ranking factors. The remaining colleges were ranked on 21 factors in three equally weighted categories: educational quality, affordability, and alumni earnings.
-Special value measure. Included: a "value added" grade that considered how well students at each school did vs. what would be expected given their economic and academic backgrounds and the institution's mix of majors.
-Focus on affordability. Among the factors considered: merit aid, parent and student borrowing, the length of time to graduate, tuition increases, and other measures.

I think student debt is the next huge political/social issue on the horizon. It is insane how much money colleges take from kids in exchange for unmarketable degrees in liberal arts and philosophy.

Money? Best Colleges? No metric for football success to matter?
We got an Aggie thread.

Why are you listing the things that actually matter over and over like that?
Actually, I am wrong. That isn't a list of things that matter. You forgot online polls.
