When it comes to choosing a college, international students have a lot of options - but not all of them are good. College Factual has developed its Best Value Colleges for Ukrainian Students ranking as one item you can use to help make this decision.
We analyzed 114 colleges and universities across the United States to determine which were the best for Ukrainian 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.
