no Kansas schools on that list at all. Typical.

Truman St in top 20?
I guess they don't factor in stuff like "Boring yourself to death"

Well just the town/area is flat out horrible. Yes I get the whole education is first thing....but you look at the schools ahead of TrumanSt. You have a lot of Florida and Cali schools that have beaches and nice weather etc. Then there's crappy northern MO weather Truman St. There is just simply nothing to do in Kirksville. But it's a good school.

Decent list but WAY off base on a number of schools.. UF at #3 is a ****ing joke. I mean, not even close to funny as a joke. Anyone who HONESTLY believes that is so ****ing delusional that I won't argue the point. (To be clear, UF should be a top 10 school on this list)
Sorry, I guess this means I'm not awesome... but I am a realist. |

Hey, I agree that UF is a great value, but to put it above schools like U-M, UCLA, William and Mary is ridiculous. Let's just look at U-M .. there isn;t ONE thing UF is better at that I can think of off the top of my head. A business degree from U-M, Law degree, engineering(HOLY HELL), sociology, dentistry, pharmacology, physics, mathematics, library sciences(???) ... that's just off the very top of my head.. all of which a FAR AND AWAY more valuable degrees with U-M on the paper. And not even close on value. Again, I'm not pissing on U-F, great value school, seriously... but let's be realistic about the REAL world here.

The value measure is cost of attendance vs. quality of education. Florida's "value" is inflated due to such ridiculously low tuition rates. UF has wanted to increase tuition forever and once the legislature/governor allows them too then their "value" ranking will lower.
