Guess that means we are cheap.
Watch them raise costs now.

It seemed an odd list. Hard to compare some of these schools. But it's always good to be #1 (well most of the time). What was the second ranking at the end of each blurb? and What does it mean by 'net price'?

That list went by affordability. The 2nd ranking is the actual rank, I guess.

At least they didn't advertise it as "cheapest schools in the country"

It's the best education at a low price, not the "cheapest" school.

Cost is important, and for many should be far more important than any ranking short of elite.

"encourages the 5,500 students residing in 20 residence halls". Guess they missed the 12,000 living off campus.

RE: App State named the most affordable public university in the south!
I spoke to two App students last week who told me that App had 15,000 applications for the incoming freshman class. Still waiting to see that statistic somewhere. That's an excellent acceptance rate if true.

App is in the upper echelon of academic renown among regional universities in the South. That's what makes a good value. ROI. Not just being the cheapest option.

RE: App State named the most affordable public university in the south!
You always feel good when your school or area is listed highly on any type of survey but I've always wondered how they come about the results. I know some, like Forbes, has items like student happiness as a criteria. There are also some who list ROI where they interview graduates to get the cost/return information, but don't seem to a standard to make sure all schools have an equal amount of graduates in similar professions represented.

I'll guess I'll keep applauding when our schools are represented, but I hope prospective students only use this type of information as a small part of their decision making process for choices in higher education.

To do so, we only included schools on this list that have a net price (total cost of attendance minus the average financial aid package) below $22,000 – roughly the typical price tag of a year of college.

Unless daddy has mullah $$$, you need to find a whole ton load of financial aid for UT

Yep. This is a great state to be in for affordable, high quality education (at least at the collegiate level).

A point not mentioned here yet, when the higher education bubble bursts it will be smaller state schools that feel the squeeze the most. All of these expansions are going to be hanging around the neck of many of these schools.
