A new study by WalletHub shows the 2023’s College & University Rankings across the United States. It’s a big decision. Consider on average, tuition and room and board at a four-year college costs around $23,000 – $52,000 per year. It varies depending on the school’s public or private status and whether it’s in-state. Even with the new program that eliminates 10 grand in student loan debt, you may still be taking out some serious loans. Additionally, enrolling in an in-state college is much more cost effective. Let’s check out the best colleges in the state of Florida.
To determine the top-performing schools at the lowest possible costs to undergraduates, WalletHub compared more than 900 higher-education institutions in the U.S. across 30 key measures. The data set is grouped into seven categories, 1) Student Selectivity. 2) Cost & Financing. 3) Faculty Resources. 4) Campus Safety. 5) Campus Experience. 6) Educational Outcomes. 7) Career Outcomes. The metrics range from student-faculty ratio to graduation rate to post-attendance median salary. WalletHub’s Best Colleges ranking also analyzes post-attendance metrics — the student-loan default rate and the share of former students out earning high school graduates, for instance — to show the value of the education students can expect to receive beyond their undergraduate studies.
