It's not easy to decide which college to attend when there are so many options available for international students. One of our goals at College Factual is to give you as much information as we can - such as our Best Value Colleges for Italian Students in Minnesota ranking - to help you make that decision.

After analyzing 2 schools in Minnesota, we came up with our list of those that offered the best educational experiences for Italian students in Minnesota. Our ranking is based on several objective factors, including the school's overall value and the total number of international students at the school. We steer clear of subjective measures since they don't give a clear picture when determining how one school compares to another.

Customizing Your List

Rankings by Location Check Out Other Locales
Other Rankings Narrow by Field of Study

Since one ranking on its own is not enough to give you a complete understanding of your educational options, you can refine this list by location. We've also developed a number of other tools and rankings based on other factors. These other rankings highlight colleges that excel in other factors such as quality or diversity as well as schools that excel in serving different groups of students such as online students or returnings adults.

We've created a tool called College Combat that lets you create your own customized comparisons based on the factors that matter the most to you. If you're torn between two schools, you can use it to help you see how they stack up against one another. Bookmark it so you can compare any new schools that might interest you.
