Post a CommentOur girls went to small universities - not necessarily any cheaper though! cheers :)
I was interested to see where IU and Purdue ranked -- 14th and 17th. Good reference!
My brother went to ASU....and lots of relatives to OS....great list.
I'm surprised Rutgers made the list.
Neat data here J.C. I imagine one could win a few bets with this info!
Notice most of them have good football programs?
