Education value list excludes UF
By BRITTANY DAVIS, Alligator Staff Writer
UF was not one of the six Florida schools named in The Princeton Review’s list of the 100 Best Value Colleges for 2009, released Thursday.
But according to UF spokesman Steve Orlando, UF is absent from the list because of an e–mail blip between UF’s Office of Institutional Planning and Research and The Princeton Review.
New College of Florida, Florida State University, the University of South Florida, the University of North Florida, the University of Central Florida and Rollins College made the list. FSU and New College of Florida ranked in the top ten for public colleges.

Orlando said The Princeton Review e–mailed questions to UF to gather ranking information. UF replied, but The Princeton Review never received the message.
“I feel pretty certain we would be considered an excellent value,” Orlando said.
Orlando said that Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine ranked UF as the No. 2 best valued public college in 2008, behind the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
