These $60,000 a year PLUS colleges are good values for those with financial need who get sufficient need based aid…AND whose parents can afford to pay their family contribution.

For MANY these are not “best values” because either the family contribution is unaffordable…or the family doesn’t qualify for need based aid…and can’t afford the family contribution.

I think the title “Best Value” is a bit disingenuous because to most it makes it sound like these are affordable colleges…and really $60,000 plus a year colleges are not affordable for everyone.
