Quality BadgeIt's not easy to decide which college to attend when there are so many options available for international students. College Factual has developed its Best Value Colleges for Turkish Students ranking as one item you can use to help make this decision.

Our analysis looked at 273 schools in the United States to determine which ones were the best for Turkish students. 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.

We know that one set of rankings doesn't always help you determine the best school for you, so we've created the ability to narrow your list by location as well as alternative rankings that prioritize different factors such as those of importance to online students or returning adults or those who value diversity and overall quality.

You can create your own custom comparison that focuses on the factors most important to you using our tool, College Combat. Test it out by comparing your favorite schools against others you are considering, or bookmark the tool so you can experiment with it later.
