by our College Data Analytics TeamWhen pursuing a degree in today's world, international students have many different options to choose from. College Factual has developed its Best Colleges for Pakistani Students in Kentucky ranking as one item you can use to help make this decision.
After analyzing 6 schools in Kentucky, we came up with our list of those that offered the best educational experiences for Pakistani students in Kentucky. Our ranking is based on several objective factors, including the school's overall quality 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.
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 value 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. We encourage you to try it out and pit your favorite colleges and universities head to head! If you don't have time right now, you can bookmark it for later.
