According to students, these ten schools are the toughest to get into, and the competition doesn't stop at admissions. Find out if the school you want to attend (or went to) is on the list.
May 13, 2006 (Press Release) --
With the cost of college tuition soaring, the biggest obstacle to choosing a college today is figuring out how to pay for it. The experts at The Princeton Review have devised lists of the top ten best-value colleges in both the public and private categories. All of these colleges offer students an excellent experience in the classroom--but won't force them to mortgage their futures to pay for it.
1. New College of Florida
NCF is a public honors college at which students enter into academic contracts that enable them to work closely with individual faculty members. Low tuition and the distinctive nature of NCF's rigorous academic program make it a tremendous value for both in-state and out-of-state students.
2. North Carolina State University
Science and technology are a big deal at North Carolina State University, which boasts nationally recognized programs in architecture, textiles, engineering, and agriculture, to name just a few. The university awards hundreds of merit-based scholarships each year and only offers loans as a last resort after all scholarship, grant, and work-study funds have been exhausted.
3. California State University, Long Beach
For state residents, the bottom line at Long Beach is about as good as it gets--tuition is free. They pay only $2,864 in fees. Nonresidents fare pretty well, too, paying on average $2,240 less than they would at peer schools in the CSU system. And the school does well by students in terms of its academics and diversity, as well.
