UB is ranked by Money magazine among the top ten four-year schools in the
Northeast, on its annual list of best buys in American education. The
rankings appear in Money magazine's "Money Guide: Your Best College Buys
Now," which hit newsstands Tuesday. In the Northeast top ten, UB is ranked tenth, behind Yale (ninth) and Harvard (seventh). SUNY schools received high marks with Binghamton first, Albany second, and Geneseo third. Fredonia State was No. 5 and Stony Brook eighth. Among area schools, Siena College was rated fourth and St. Bonaventure came in sixth. In the list of the top 25 in the Northeast, eight were SUNY campuses. In addition to UB, Albany, Binghamton, Fredonia, Geneseo, and Stony Brook, Oneonta and Plattsburgh were listed. Among the top 100, UB was rated 47th. SUNY Chancellor Thomas Bartlett said in a Buffalo News article, "This survey demonstrates the quality and affordability of our campuses. It is significant that our campuses have been well represented on Money's list since the magazine began rating college best buys six years ago." Bartlett said the placing was even more impressive to him in light of a major tuition increase in all of the eight SUNY campuses. To rank the 100 best buys, Money analyzed cost in terms of tuition and fees and education quality, using indicators such as entrance exam results, faculty and library resources, instructional and student services budgets, graduation rates and default ratio on student loans.
