They say the economy is recovering, but the effects of the recession continue to affect the nation’s public colleges and universities. STUDENT ARE THE FUTURE OF THIS NATION and also one of its largest spending groups at $160 billion per year, yet there is little being done to stimulate the student community.  Banks get bailed out, auto companies get bailed out and state governments cut funding for higher education. Universities that once relied on the income from fat endowments have yet to recoup multimillion-dollar losses to their portfolios.  Loans seem to be the only viable option for college students, that is if you have A1 credit and if you can find a lender of course!  Its REALLY rough out there for students but lets not kid ourselves school is still the best option for most of us so until the “STUDENT BAILOUT” gets here we’ll have spend our cash wisely and find new ways to make a dollar stretch.  So to all you students out there looking for the right college for the right price don’t give up, Yahoo Finance put together a Top Ten list of Public Colleges that give you the most bang for your buck:
1. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
2. University of Florida
