Florida ranks best state in the nation for higher education, report says

The state of Florida ranks first in the nation for higher education, according to U.S. News and World Report .

The main factors used in the report were 2-year college graduation rate, 4-year college graduation rate, low debt at graduation, educational attainment and tuition and fees. Florida is home to three of the nation's top 100 colleges, the website says.


The Sunshine State was also in the top 10 for 4-year college graduation rate and low debt at graduation, while ranking #2 in both 2-year college graduation rate and tuition and fees.

And for instate residents the price is by no means Ivy League high.

The University of Florida, as much as I hate them in football season, is a great University and for an instate resident a bargain.

If only there wasn’t such a disparity.

But congratulations to our university system.
