When it comes to choosing a college, international students have a lot of options - but not all of them are good. One of our goals at College Factual is to give you as much information as we can - such as our Best Value Colleges for Nepali Students in the Southwest Region ranking - to help you make that decision.
We analyzed 42 colleges and universities across the Southwest Region to determine which were the best for Nepali students in the Southwest Region. Instead of depending on subjective information, we focus on objective factors to determine this ranking. These factors include such things as the total number of international students at the school and the school's overall value.

Customizing Your List
Since one ranking on its own is not enough to give you a complete understanding of your educational options, you can refine this list by location. We've also developed a number of other tools and rankings based on other factors. These other rankings highlight colleges that excel in other factors such as quality or diversity as well as schools that excel in serving different groups of students such as online students or returnings adults.
We've created a tool called College Combat that lets you create your own customized comparisons based on the factors that matter the most to you. If you're torn between two schools, you can use it to help you see how they stack up against one another. Bookmark it so you can compare any new schools that might interest you.
