The Princeton Review named University of Wisconsin-Madison one of the top 75 “best value” public higher education institutions in the U.S., according to a university news release.
Schools that placed highest on the list offer outstanding academics, substantial financial aid and relatively low costs of attendance, the release stated. Only the first 10 institutions were ranked numerically.
In order to compile the list, The Princeton Review utilized survey data regarding cost, financial aid and academics, according to the release. It also considered student evaluations of professors and financial aid awards.
The release cited the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as the nation’s best value in public education, while Williams College placed first in a separate list designated for private colleges.
UW-Madison previously placed eighth among 100 public colleges in Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine last December, according to the release.
