Our interpretation...
  • oldest school: Juniata (1876)
  • largest / smallest student body: 1,975 / 436
  • variance in tuition (between cheapest and most expensive): $9,675
  • cheapest to get into: Manchester
  • most expensive / affordable room and board: $8,510 / $5,620
  • LaVerne is now affiliated with the COB
Kudos to ETown, Manchester, and Juniata for making the rankings.
