There's a lot to consider when picking a college, whether that college is for you or a child. You need to think about the cost but you also need to think about what the student life will be like, and if there be things to do on campus that you're interested in. A new study looked at many different factors to determine which states are the best and the worst for college students and Minnesota ranked super high!

If you (or a child) are considering moving for college, this study will be especially helpful. If you're already planning on staying in Minnesota for college then this just serves are bragging rights.

The study, done by Studee, looked at 11 factors: cost of tuition, cost of rent, cost of board, the percentage of the population that's age 19-25, average graduate salary, crime rates, happiness index scores, the number of things to do, LGBT friendliness, mental health, and the number of top universities in that state.
