It's important to research the typical financial aid package offered by a school, the average net price actually paid and most importantly the quality of education you receive for your tuition dollar. Sometimes a school which appears cheap based on list price can be a poor relative value if it can't award competitive financial aid or doesn't offer a quality education.

Please see the CollegeSimply Best Value Colleges in Ohio list for a ranking which considers school quality and average net price.
