Univ. ranked seventh best
value of national colleges
BY CAROLYN CRIST
The Red & Black
The University ranked seventh in
Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine’s
annual Best Value listing of national col
leges and universities, its third consecu
tive year in the top 10.
The University moved up three spots
from last year’s place at 10.
Georgia Tech pulled in just behind at
12, and Georgia College and State
University made the top 100 at No. 83.
The first and second ranked schools
were the same as 2007's the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the
University of Florida.
The Best Value rankings are based on
academics and finances, according to the
magazine.
Editors narrow the list of more than 500
national public colleges and universities to
120 based on academic measures such as
admission rates, SAT scores and student
faculty ratios. In-state tuition and the
average debt a student accumulates before
graduation also is considered for the rank
ings.

KIPLINGER’S 2008
BEST VALUE RANKINGS
1. University ot North Carolina at Chapel Hill
2. University of Florida
3. University of Virginia
4. College of William and Mary
5. New College ot Florida
6. State University ot New York at Geneseo
7. University of Georgia
8. State University of New York at Binghamton
9. University of Washington
10. University of California at Los Angeles
“I think the primary reasons (for the
ranking) are that we are one of the lowest
tuition states in the country, both for in
state and out-of-state students, coupled
with the HOPE Scholarship, which allows
the majority of students to pay no tuition
at all,” said Tom Jackson, senior vice presi
dent of public affairs.
"Therefore, our students graduate with
a low-debt rate, which is part of Kiplinger’s
formula. UGA also fares very well on the
academic criteria, making us a strong aca
demic product for a very-low price.”
