Kiplinger’s Personal Finance just released its 2016 list of the ranking of best college values in the U.S., and seven Georgia colleges and universities ended up in the top 300 list.

The list is based on a combination of factors, including cost, financial aid received, four-year graduation rates and the average amount of debt a student leaves with.

Emory University was the highest Georgia school in the top 300, coming in at number 23, followed by the University of Georgia at 92, Georgia Tech at 120, Agnes Scott at 146, Mercer University at 227, Spelman College at 266 and Georgia College and State University at 290.

You can find the details and sort the rankings yourself at the Kiplinger website.
