Every year, prospective students search for the best value in their education. This year is especially important, since the US is weighed down by a deep economic recession with a rising unemployment rate of nearly 10 percent. Therefore, the number one priority for students and parents alike is finding a school with generous financial aid.

The Princeton Review made the search easy and broke down the schools into two categories: private and public colleges. They compiled data from current students and school administrators at 650 private and public institutions, judging factors such as academics, financial aid and costs.

Focusing on the financial area, they compiled information from financial aid reports and student surveying, factoring in costs such as tuition, room and board and other smaller fees such as books.
