Summer is right around the corner, so what better way to welcome the season than with some great news? Here is an easy-to-understand guide of the top 10 best value colleges of 2015.

This post highlights:

- The 2015 Best Value Colleges

- What these colleges really cost to attend (these results might shock you)

- Is this really important?

This list of best value colleges comes from the U.S. News and World Report. What does "best value" really mean? In a nutshell, the U.S. News & World Report run a yearly report on colleges based on 3 criteria's: ratio of quality to price, need-based financial aid, and average discount.

To sum it up, here is the breakdown of the 2015 Best Value Colleges and their average aware for new students:

National Universities

Liberal Arts College

Isn't this shocking? Your student can get a $40,000-$50,000 scholarship to attend an expensive private school. Is this really how it works? Can students really get this much in financial aid? Yes! Financial aid is for all income-level families, and every college has their unique way of enticing students with scholarships and grants.

Is this really important?

The answer is yes, and no. Hopefully by now you have acknowledged that colleges can be generous. The more important questions to ask are: what college is the best fit for my student? Where will my student thrive and have the best opportunities for his/her career? How can I afford 4 years of college without sacrificing my saving or retirement?
