To calculate the value of a school in our Best Bachelor's Degree Colleges for the Money (Income $0-$30k) in Nevada ranking, we first consider its average net price of students from families making $0-$30k a year. The net price is the sum of room and board, tuition, and fees minus any financial aid that that the student receives. In addition, the overall quality of a school is important to ensure a good education, not just how much it costs.
