(PRWEB) February 23, 2016 -- Best Value Colleges has announced the 50 Best Small Colleges, 2016.

“Many students want to attend a small college where generally it’s easier to make friends, get more personal attention from professors and have a chance to stand out in student organizations,” said Paul Church, editor. He said Best Value Colleges began with a list of degree granting institutions of 4,000 students or fewer, then rated them in in the categories of net price, retention rate, graduation rate, and class size.

Best Value Colleges is an organization dedicated to helping students find the college right for them. This includes the best overall value for your educational dollar, the most available financial aid and assistance, the greatest support and service for the student, and potential Return on Investment.
