Six North Carolina universities are ranked in the top 100 by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance as the country’s “Best Values.”

The magazine’s February 2008 edition ranks UNC at Chapel Hill No. 1 for the seventh consecutive time. N.C. State University is No. 13, Appalachian State is 27, UNC at Wilmington is 36, UNC at Asheville is 40 and UNC at Greensboro is ranked No. 68.

Gov. Mike Easley applauded the rankings in a news release.

“This recognition reflects our commitment to providing academic excellence and an affordable college education for all students in our state,” Easley said in the release.

The rankings are based on cost and are designed to combine value with a first class education.
