by our College Data Analytics TeamWhen 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 Colleges for South Korean Students in West Virginia ranking as one item you can use to help make this decision.
Our analysis looked at 4 schools in West Virginia to determine which ones were the best for South Korean students in West Virginia. Our ranking methodology focuses a number of different objective factors - such as the overall quality of the school, number of total international students at the school, and the percentage of international students on campus - to make this determination.
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 value 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. We encourage you to try it out and pit your favorite colleges and universities head to head! If you don't have time right now, you can bookmark it for later.
