When it comes to choosing a college, international students have a lot of options - but not all of them are good. College Factual was founded, in part, to help students make the decision as to what would be the best school for them. Our Best Value Colleges for Vietnamese Students in Alabama ranking is part of that endeavor.

We analyzed 7 colleges and universities across Alabama to determine which were the best for Vietnamese students in Alabama. 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.
