Two Chicago-area universities have landed on yet another list of the best colleges and universities in the nation.
Wallethub on Monday released its new 2023 College and University Rankings list, which analyzes "more than 900 higher-education institutions in the U.S. across 30 key measures," ranging from student-faculty ratio to graduation, to post-attendance median salary and more.
The report also weighed cost and financing, campus safety and experience, student selectivity and more.
The results are a comprehensive list of 500 universities and colleges, each with a "total score" that lists and averages the rankings of each university's key measures.
