CHAPEL HILL, N.C., — College Consensus has published its ranking of the Best Public Colleges and Universities in the USA. College Consensus is a college rating website that aggregates publisher rankings and student reviews.
To identify the Best Public Colleges and Universities in 2019, College Consensus combined the latest results from the most respected college rankings with thousands of real student reviews to produce an individual consensus score for each school. According to Consensus editors, “College Consensus gathers the publisher rankings and student reviews from around the web and distills the results into simple, easy to understand scores so students can quickly and easily compare schools.”
“The College Consensus methodology pulls together rankings from U.S. News & World Report, The Wall Street Journal, and Wallethub, averaging all of a given school’s numbers to get the Publisher Rating. Then we average student reviews from sites like Cappex, Niche, Student Review, and more, to get the full picture of how students see their colleges, which we call the Student Review Rating. Put them together, and we have the College Consensus,” the Consensus editors explained.
To help prospective college students and their families evaluate the educational options open to them, College Consensus has identified the best public colleges and universities.

“Public schools often get ignored in rankings, despite their critical mission,” Consensus editors explained, “While the Ivy League and the wealthy, elite private research universities may get the most press attention and dominating rankings, public colleges and universities are a vital part of higher education in America.”
• Public schools generally provide a more affordable and accessible option for students than private colleges, helping to democratize higher education and build a more broadly educated citizenship.
“College Consensus gets the broadest ranking of the best public schools in the U.S. by bringing together a full selection of data from publishers and student reviews. National publishers use surveys, investigation, and statistics to rank colleges, while students writing their reviews use their own experience,” the Consensus editors elaborated. “College Consensus is a new approach to college rankings. We combine the latest results from the most respected college ranking systems with thousands of real student review scores.”
