Forbes recently published an article about Berea College, my alma matar. They made #1 on the list of America’s Best College Buys. It makes me proud to know that even in these tough economic times Berea College is still doing what it does best; giving promising students a top-level education for free.
| Rank | College Name | State |
| 1 | Berea College | Ky. |
| 2 | New College of Florida | Fla. |
| 3 | United States Military Academy | N.Y. |
| 4 | United States Air Force Academy | Colo. |
| 5 | University of Wyoming | Wyo. |
| 6 | United States Naval Academy | Md. |
| 7 | University of Florida | Fla. |
| 8 | University of California, Los Angeles | Calif. |
| 9 | Cooper Union | N.Y. |
| 10 | University of California, Berkeley | Calif. |
The quality score is calculated by summing each school’s score with respect to Who’s Who in America citations, salary data from PayScale.com, course evaluations from RateMyProfessor.com, the receipt of student and faculty nationally competitive awards, and the graduation rate variables used in the Best College rankings.
