Explain yourself

The only thing that came out recently is the online rankings.

Here's the actual link and the top 5 are different than the OP. It's Vandy, Florida, UGA, A&M, and South Carolina in that order

The Nation can not help the fact that you are a Diploma Mill.

Quality over quantity.

Numbers don't lie.

It won't give us the metric without membership. I'm assuming it's perceived educational value balanced out by cost. And here's something you won't hear me say very often but good job Florida -- your in-state tuition is an absolute steal.

The University of Florida is free to attend, by law.

No need to charge.

I'm not trying to be a dick, but Alabama "is" a cheap diploma Mill. They still accept GED and AAS certificates.

You are a UNIVERSITY. Act like it.

Incorrect. This is a specific ranking that they use, but the ranking in the OP doesn't consider cost.

UF has been #1 in their educational value ranking before

US News rankings have always been awful.

I wouldn’t say awful but people misinterpret it as an academic ranking which it is no where near one.

Not sure why y’all care about this stuff.

It has no bearing on your life.
I was never going to go anywhere other than Texas A&M University.
You were never going to go any where than where you attended.
I am a lucky woman, and you are a lucky men,
A ranking of our schools is meaningless.
Carry on.

USNWR college rankings are used by football fans and soccer moms. It has Clemson in the top 100.

That would be an improvement, if that were the case.

Princeton and Harvard are worth every penny (even at full price). That said, the Ivies are moving away from high priced tuition (at least for normal people). They're opening up their ginormous endowments. Harvard's plan is to charge between 0 and 10 percent of a family's income for those families who make between $65,000 and $150,000 (most students in the South would qualify given the average family income in our collective states). If your family makes less than 65k (which again is most families in the South) your tuition AND room and board are free.

And how sad is it that Harvard considers a family making 150k to be a low income family?
