These Are The Best Schools In Every State

Best Schools By State

You guys, I went to the best school in the entire state of Delaware. That wasn’t hard to do, because I think there are like, nine colleges in Delaware, possibly including community colleges, and UD is the only one that cracks the top 500 schools in the country, if I had to guess. But it’s still kind of cool, and I was still proud to read that my school was the best somewhere.

Because so many people go to school in state, Forbes] went through and broke down which schools you should be *hoping* to go to if you want to maintain that in-state tuition fees.

Kind of sucks for states that are home to Ivys, because Princeton is realistically just an outlier, but it’s pretty cool if you live in a state like West Virginia, where you can go to a school that likely offers majors in shotgunning, but you can still be among the best and the brightest.
