<p>Compare and contrast with Kiplinger’s lists of Best Value Colleges (public, private LAC, private Universities) -
Kiplinger includes data for merit awards as well, which is very useful…</p>

<p>Can anyone clarify why UCLA is on the list but Berkeley isn’t? I was under the impression that Cal gives better financial aid than UCLA, but I could be mistaken.</p>

<p>Berkeley’s on the list, it just isn’t in the top 10. I’m more surprised that Stanford isn’t in the top 10 than probably any other school on the list.</p>

<p>It does. I think Berkeley students graduate with an average 1k less debt than UCLA grads (although this can be attributed to Los Angeles being more expensive than Berkeley.) </p>

<p>But remember, this isn’t a ranking of financial aid, but rather of ‘best value.’ The full methodology can be found here:</p>
