Our mission at College Factual is to arm you with as much information as we can to help you make that decision. Our Best Value Colleges for Nigerian Students in Georgia ranking is one tool we have developed to help in this regard.
After analyzing 13 schools in Georgia, we came up with our list of those that offered the best educational experiences for Nigerian students in Georgia. Our ranking is based on several objective factors, including the school's overall value and the total number of international students at the school. We steer clear of subjective measures since they don't give a clear picture when determining how one school compares to another.

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.
