One of our goals at College Factual is to give you as much information as we can - such as our Best Value Colleges for Thai Students in the Far Western US Region ranking - to help you make that decision.

Our analysis looked at 39 schools in the Far Western US Region to determine which ones were the best for Thai students in the Far Western US Region.

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.
