When pursuing a degree in today's world, international students have many different options to choose from. One of our goals at College Factual is to give you as much information as we can - such as our Best Value Colleges for German Students in North Carolina ranking - to help you make that decision.

We analyzed 18 colleges and universities across North Carolina to determine which were the best for German students in North Carolina. To come up with this ranking, we look at a number of factors that are all objective measurements. These factors include the school's overall value as determined by our Best Colleges for the Money ranking and the percentage of international students on campus.

See what other factors we include in our ranking methodology.

One Size Does Not Fit All

Rankings by Location Check Out Other Locales
Other Rankings Narrow by Field of Study

We know that one set of rankings doesn't always help you determine the best school for you, so we've created the ability to narrow your list by location as well as alternative rankings that prioritize different factors such as those of importance to online students or returning adults or those who value diversity and overall quality.

You can create your own custom comparison that focuses on the factors most important to you using our tool, College Combat. Test it out by comparing your favorite schools against others you are considering, or bookmark the tool so you can experiment with it later.
