Truman State University and the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign made the Princeton Review's latest list of best values in public colleges, although they didn't make the top 10.
The list attempts to rank schools by academic bang for the tuition buck, including financial aid.
Since it usually takes a lot more bucks to attend a private college, the authors put private schools in a separate category. Washington University, where the sticker price for a year's schooling runs $52,000, made the best value list for private colleges, although not the top 10.
Princeton Review, which preps students for college board exams, cooperated with USA
Today to compile the list. Here are the top 10 among public colleges:1. University of Virginia (Charlottesville VA)2. New College of Florida (Sarasota FL)3. University of Florida (Gainesville FL)4. State University of New York at Binghamton (Binghamton NY)5. University of Georgia (Athens GA)6. University of Michigan (Ann Arbor MI)7. College of William and Mary (Williamsburg VA)8. University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill NC)9. North Carolina State University (Raleigh NC)10. City University of New York - Hunter College (New York NY)
The top 10 among private colleges:1. Swarthmore College (Swarthmore PA)2. Duke University (Durham NC)3. Princeton University (Princeton NJ)4. California Institute of Technology (Pasadena CA)5. Harvard College (Cambridge MA)6. Wesleyan University (Middletown CT)7. Williams College (Williamstown MA)8. Vanderbilt University (Nashville TN)9. Wesleyan College (Macon GA)10.
