HILLSBOROUGH, N.C., April 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- College Consensus, a unique college ratings website that aggregates publisher rankings and student reviews, has published its rankings of the 100 Most Affordable Colleges for 2022.

With College Decision Day rapidly approaching, prospective students face the difficult task of selecting a college to attend.

A key factor in this decision? Cost.

"On average, college costs American undergraduate students $35,331 per year, says College Consensus founder Jeremy Alder. "Not only is this number egregious, the vast majority of students don't have this kind of money on hand—and hesitate to take out massive loans to cover the cost. That's where affordable colleges really shine."

"Affordable colleges allow students to receive a quality education—without breaking the bank and setting themselves up for a lifetime of loan repayment," continues Jeremy Alder.

To determine the Most Affordable Colleges, College Consensus ordered colleges from lowest to highest out-of-state tuition & fees for full-time undergraduates using the latest tuition data from the National Center for Education Statistics.

The Top 10 Most Affordable Colleges for 2022 are:

United States Merchant Marine Academy
Brigham Young University-Idaho
Aspen University
Columbia Southern University
Brigham Young University-Hawaii
Brigham Young University
Warner Pacific University Professional and Graduate Studies
Central Methodist University-College of Graduate and Extended Studies
United States University
Huntington University of Health Sciences

"It's no secret that large-scale changes need to be made to reduce the cost of college for students, continues College Consensus founder Jeremy Alder. "In the meantime, students should have access to reputable information about the price tag of college so they can make the best decision for themselves and their futures."

In addition to offering an innovative approach to college and graduate school rankings, College Consensus also offers expert advice and guidance on all aspects of college life, from finding the perfect college, to getting accepted, paying for it, applying to and attending graduate school, and finding a professional path after graduation.
