Best college in Florida? WalletHub rankings are out, see who is on top

Is your alma mater the best in the entire state? Or maybe even the entire country? You can put it to the test.

Personal finance company WalletHub revealed its top-ranking colleges and universities in the country in 2026, comparing nearly 800 higher-education institutions in the U.S.

“In general, universities tend to rank higher than colleges due to their inclusion of graduate-level programs, greater on-campus opportunities and higher earnings for students post-graduation. In fact, the top 10 places for higher education in the U.S. are all universities," WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo said. "There are still tons of high-ranking colleges, though, which offer their own advantages like smaller class sizes, more personalized learning and often safer campuses.”
