Longmeadow, MAPrivate nonprofitRank 1 of 1,732

Heads-up: 39% of undergraduates here are part-time and 66% study fully online (IPEDS fall 2023). Large part-time, online or adult populations can make the later-years average look lower for reasons unrelated to freshman aid, so this college is left out of the default traditional ranking.
