After spending the pandemic year rethinking the way we evaluate the country’s finest schools, low-cost public universities surged up our ranking, grabbing six of the top 25 spots.ublic universities can deliver the most outstanding education to the broadest range of students at the most affordable price. That’s the message of Forbes’ 2021 ranking of top colleges.
Harvard, which has been a perennial No. 1 in the Forbes ranking and in other closely watched lists, has fallen to No. 7.How did this happen? We took the pandemic year to re-evaluate . As we watched Covid turn higher ed upside down, we realized we needed to update the way we measure the best colleges in America.
