These 4 Massachusetts Colleges Chosen on National ‘Best Of’ List

There is a difference between a College and a University.  There are other lists that would include Dartmouth College, Boston College, etc., but those are considered Universities, as they are larger institutions and offer both undergraduate and graduate programs.  For this article, we're talking just Colleges.

Where to go to college is a big decision.  There are many factors to take into consideration like, campus safety, the cost of tuition, etc.  Based on these factors and more, 4 Massachusetts colleges made the 'Best Of' list, according to Wallethub.

The findings were based on a few factors like:

• Cost of tuition
• Career Outcomes
• Student / Faculty Ratio
• Graduation Rate
• Post Attendance median salary

Here are the Massachusetts Colleges that made the list:

Wellesley College, Wellesley, Massachusetts

Coming in at the 2nd best college in the Country.  It's a stunning campus.

Amherst College, Amherst, Mass

Located way West of Boston, this liberal arts college is another beauty.  The campus is huge.

College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, Mass.

Worcester, Mass is a great community to live, work and play in.

Wheaton College, Norton, Massachusetts

Norton is located in the South Shore, not far from Providence, Rhode Island. Not to be confused with another Wheaton College in Illinois.

No matter where you ultimately decide where to go for college, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is not a bad place, no matter where you go.  I would also say that the college system in New Hampshire is amazing as well.  We are home to Dartmouth, after all.  The NH State colleges are great too.  They have calmed down since I went to Keene State College, so not a bad choice there either.
