The Best Colleges Can Be the Cheapest Colleges

In an earlier post, I discussed schools that will make a “drop out” out of you–mostly schools for low income students. But I also made it clear that not all schools affordable to students from a low income family are low quality. In fact, US News compiled a list of the best schools that are also the most affordable. Both universities and liberal arts colleges are listed by region. In today’s economy, students and their families are taking cost into account more and more, but that doesn’t mean one has to sacrifice the quality of his or her education for affordability.
