公立大學學費連年調漲，經濟衰退更讓畢業生就業因難，許多高中生和家長都在懷疑，四年大學到底值不值得？如何避免為上大學而背負沉重債務？

評鑑大專院校、教育服務與考試培訓機構的「普林斯頓評論」(Princeton Review)在最新一期建議，對大多數家庭，申請大學時除考量學校學術地位，首要考量的是學費和獎學金情況。在近日推出的「2010年100所最划算大學」共調查650所公立和私立大學的學生和行政管理人員，讓受訪人員對學術、費用和財務補助三個領域做出評估，並參照各大學公布的師資、學費、獎學金等綜合情況，排出前100所最划算的大學。

「今日美國報」報導，負責這次排名的總監司徒(David Soto)表示，進入前100名的這些學校在照顧學生財務需求的同時，能保持學術研究的質量和活力。

與去年一樣，今年被評鑑為公立和私立大學榜首的分別是維吉尼亞大學和史瓦斯摩學院。

去年和今年都進入前十名的還包括哈佛學院、佛羅里達州立大學和喬治亞大學，屬於今年首次入榜的則有科羅拉多大學圓石校區、德州農工大學、維吉尼亞理工大學、奧克拉荷馬大學、衛斯理女子學院以及喬治亞州的衛斯理陽大學。

據非營利機構「大學理事會」數據顯示，過去十年內，大學費用急劇上漲。四年制公立大學學費、住宿、教材等費用，從1999年至2000年度平均1萬440元增至2009年的1萬5210元，經過對通貨膨脹調整後，大幅攀升46%。同期內四年制私立大學費用上漲28%，從2萬7740元增至3萬5640元。

前100所最划算大學學費也在增長，但這些大學今年平均資助每個學生875元。

聯邦教育部每年對來自低收入家庭學生補助經費為182億元，比十年前增加62億元。教育部計畫明年將以捐贈、貸款和提供半工半讀機會，向低收入家庭學生提供1290億元的補助。

儘管如此，一些州仍在減少清貧學生資助。2009年公布的一項報告顯示，全美有36個州已通過或提議實施削減教育經費。例如，在2009年至2010年財政年度，亞利桑那州削減大學系統經費2億3200萬元。

一般公立大學對州內居民的學生都收費較低。例如，維吉尼亞大學州內學生學雜費為1萬9112元，非維州學生的學雜費則高達4萬1112元，是前者的兩倍。有關今年前100所最划算大學排名及相關資訊，可參考BestValueColleges.usatoday.com。

The Princeton Review's 100 "Best Value Colleges" list for 2010 is based on data compiled and analyzed by The Princeton Review, the education services and test-prep company known for its annual college listings.


The analysis uses the most recently reported data from each institution for its 2009-10 academic year. The top 10 public and private "Best Values" are ranked; the rest are listed alphabetically.


FULL STORY: Can getting a degree be affordable?


The Princeton Review selected the schools based on surveys of administrators and students at more than 650 public and private college and university campuses.


Overall selection criteria included more than 30 factors in three areas: academics, costs and financial aid. Academic ratings were based on student surveys about such issues as professors' accessibility and class sizes, as well as institutional reports about student-faculty ratios and percent of classes taught by teaching assistants.


The financial aid rating is based on a combination of school-reported data and student surveys. Tuition, room and board, and required fees, as well as book costs and other factors, are included in the financial measurement.


READERS: Did your college — or a college you considered — make the list? Do you think it should or shouldn't have?
