2018’s Best Colleges + Universities: How Did Your Alma Mater Do?

It's a battle of colleges and universities. Which schools are looking the best in 2018?

Oh college. The good ol' days. I think back on my days in college with a smile on my face. Aside from my degree, I can say those years opened many doors for me. I spent a semester living in New York City, I found my best friends and even found my husband. Thank you, Baylor.

To me, my alma mater will always be the best in the nation. I'm sure you feel the same about your school. However, you and I may be wrong... at least, according to WalletHub's latest study.

The financial site looked at colleges and universities all across the nation to compile their list of "2018's College & University Rankings." To do this, they looked at things like student selectivity, cost, financing and financial assistance, and even career outcomes.

Here are their top 5...

1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
2. Princeton University
3. Harvard University
4. Stanford University
5. California Institute of Technology

No schools in Wyoming made the list however, Colorado landed a few. University of Denver was the highest at number 155. Colorado State found itself at number 332, while University of Colorado-Boulder ranked at number 466.
