PHOENIX — Arizona State University has been ranked as a “best buy” of colleges.

As part of its 31st edition, the Fiske Guide to Colleges released its “best buy” list last week. The annual list is comprised of 14 “public colleges and universities in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom with the most cost-conscious combinations of academics and affordability,” according to The Huffington Post.

Arizona State University in Tempe, Ariz. ranked No. 1 on the list.

All the schools on the Best Buy list would be classified as inexpensive or moderately-priced and usually have four- or five-star academic ratings.
