U.S. News & World Report has released its 2022 Best Colleges rankings and list. One of their reports revealed the "best value schools" in the country, which lists colleges and universities that offer students the best value. They determined that by taking "into account a school's academic quality, as indicated by its 2022 U.S. News Best Colleges ranking, and the 2020-2021 net cost of attendance for an out-of-state student who received the average level of need-based financial aid. The higher the quality of the program and the lower the cost, the better the deal."
