Princeton Review 2027 Best Value Rankings Highlight Georgia Tech and Princeton Amid Rising Cost Concerns

The Princeton Review released its 2027 Best Value Colleges report, naming Georgia Institute of Technology and Princeton University as the top public and private institutions, respectively. The rankings prioritize academics, affordability, and career prospects, reflecting growing student anxiety over tuition costs and AI-driven labor market shifts. While sticker prices remain high, significant financial aid for students with need helps offset costs, particularly at top private schools.

Six-figure tuition, dubious value: 15 colleges exceed $100k per year

Fifteen U.S. colleges now charge more than $100,000 a year, up from just a couple last year, pushing four-year costs toward $500,000. Yet Wall Street Journal ROI analyses show many of these schools offer weak returns, and need-based aid can cut the price dramatically (often 60–75%). With about half of students receiving need-based aid, many families still face steep prices, and experts say there are numerous affordable, high-value options beyond these pricey institutions.

Dozens of Howard University Freshmen Unenrolled Over Late Payment While Aid Arrives

Dozens of incoming Howard University freshmen were unenrolled weeks before the fall semester after missing a July 10 payment deadline; some cited pending scholarships and aid that hadn’t yet transferred. Howard says it notified students of deadlines, will refund payments and scholarship funds already sent, but deposits for tuition and housing are nonrefundable, and affected students can reapply next year as transfers while aid is reviewed.

New America Report Claims Marquette Redirects Low-Income Families Toward Risky PLUS Loans

A New America report names Marquette University among 41 colleges allegedly steering low-income families toward high-interest Parent PLUS loans while granting aid to wealthier students; the study notes 34% of Pell Grant recipients who left or graduated in 2020–21 also borrowed PLUS loans, with an average debt of $30,089, while the university awarded about $22,000 in non-need-based grants. Marquette says the PLUS loan option is shown separately to help families understand options and cites affordability efforts; experts warn that financial‑aid leveraging can drive up costs and reward wealthier families.
