The 20 best colleges for your money
With this in mind, Money Magazine released its 2015-16 list of top colleges to give parents and students the true financial impact of college.
The ranking looks to quantitative data points such as the price of a degree and career earnings to give a picture of the financial outcomes of students at four-year colleges and universities around the country.
And unlike the US World and News Report, another big name publication in college rankings, there is no academic peer assessment component of the ranking, arguably removing subjectivity from their ranking equation.
Here are the top 20 schools on Money Magazine's list:
1. Stanford University - Stanford, California
2. Babson College - Babson Park, Massachusetts
3. Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge, Massachusetts
