It's not easy to decide which college to attend when there are so many options available for international students. College Factual was founded, in part, to help students make the decision as to what would be the best school for them. Our Best Value Colleges for Russian Students in Massachusetts ranking is part of that endeavor.
After analyzing 17 schools in Massachusetts, we came up with our list of those that offered the best educational experiences for Russian students in Massachusetts. Our ranking methodology focuses on a number of different objective factors - such as the overall value of the school, number of total international students at the school, and the percentage of international students on campus - to make this determination.
Get more details on our ranking methodology.
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.
