Did WNY Make the List of the Best Colleges and Universities?

WalletHub has released its latest rankings of the nation's Colleges and Universities.  The financial website compared 1,000 colleges and universities across the country to determine the best performing schools at the best possible price.

WalletHub used 26 variables comparing such things as Student Selectivity, Cost & Financing, Career Outcomes and student-faculty ratio to graduation rate.

They also asked experts a number of questions including:

• Are Ivy League and other “name-brand” schools worth the high sticker price?
• What type of universities do you think provide the best return on investment?
• Should college be tuition-free? How else can colleges become more affordable?
• What are the best ways to graduate with minimal debt and great job prospects?
