@chembiodad,
Forbes America’s Top Colleges 2017 ranking combines universities and LACs. I separated them to resemble US News.

Forbes lists jump all over the place.

Not really. They are entirely different rankings. The Forbes best LAC values of uses a very different methodology than Forbes America’s top colleges ranking. The best value ranking is measuring affordability and value vs cost. The Forbes America’s top colleges ranking is measuring output results as quoted in post # 16

The Best Value rankings were based on the following three variables.

1. Ratio of quality to price

2. Need-based aid

3. Average discount
