Outside of those four, three other schools have improved each year and deserve honorable mentions: Auburn University (204), Elizabethtown College (275), and Temple University (397). Every university wants to be the best or at least rise in the ranking each year. By focusing on student success and college affordability, those universities are succeeding. Outspending the competition only leads to the academic arms race partially responsible for the rising costs of college. The only way to do well in this list is to produce superior undergraduates that succeed later in life, enjoy their experience, and graduate on time without high debt.
