financial aid.
Percent of Tuition and Fees Received
as Aid (10 points): It is much more
helpful to receive $5,000 in aid when
your tuition bill is $6,000 than when it
is $20,000, so we calculated the
percentage of tuition that was covered
by the average financial aid award (not
including loans) and assigned points
based on that percentage.
Student Loans (5 points): Too many
students are graduating from college
with too much student loan debt. We
think it would be better for everyone to
have a clean slate financially when they
get out of school, so we gave more
points to schools with lower average
student loans.
Net price (10 points): This figure takes
cost of living into account as well as
tuition, fees, and financial aid. We gave
more points to schools with a lower net
price.
Convenience (25 total points)
