Purdue University has been named the Best Value university in Indiana and one of the best in the nation.

SmartAsset determined the colleges and universities that provide the best value to students in its annual rankings, which were released earlier this month.

Besides being the top value in the state of Indiana, the online financial services portal ranked Purdue as No. 2 in the Big Ten, No. 6 among public universities in the U.S. and No. 15 among all institutions nationwide.

SmartAsset’s methodology for determining best value was based on a variety of financial factors including starting salary, tuition, student living expenses, student retention rate and scholarships.
