The 100 Best Public Colleges in America

Earning a college degree is an investment with far-reaching benefits. Adults who hold degrees earn an average of $32,000 more per year than those who hold a high school diploma. This increased income can mean a big difference in quality of life, from being able to afford a home to lower instances of poverty, and even longer life expectancy.
While those statistics are all good reasons to go to college, education often comes with a hefty price tag. Over the last 10 years, tuition rates for both public and private colleges have increased by more than 25 percent, and student loan debt has increased alongside them. In 2019, the average cost per year of a private college education was $48,510, while at a public college it was $21,370. As a result, many students are choosing to attend a public university, where they can potentially get less-expensive tuition and better value for their money
Aloha
UH Mānoa ʻohana,
As you may have seen in local and national media reports, a group competing in a debate competition has been accused of making racist taunts to an opposing team from Morehouse College, a historically black college. We still do not have all of the facts of the incident yet, as the matter is being investigated by the Office of Student Conduct to determine if there were violations of the campus conduct code. The group of students is not officially part of any
UH school or department or a registered student organization. The students had entered as an unaffiliated independent organization but did compete under our university’s name. I am reaching out to the provost of Morehouse College promising a full investigation and expressing my hope that this incident will lead to a collaborative relationship between our schools.
