    River Falls is a good choice when it comes to how much you get for what you pay. The laundry is free this year and you get to rent your textbooks which means you don't have to spend an extra $500 each semester.

    River falls has a low tuition cost which is always great! You will get a lot out of your classes for the amount they cost.

    I personally think that depending on the professor some of the classes I take are completely worth it and some of the classes were taught by professors who just don't care.

    River Falls is probably one of the cheapest four-year educations out there, but it doesn't lag on quality. The education you receive will be top-notch, and you'll be glad to leave with your degree, because you'll have more than just that: you'll have the experience and skills to enter the real world with complete confidence.

    River Falls is the most affordable university I have yet to come across! Tuition per semester without housing is equivalent to a community college. Being able to still attend a beautiful university, experience the college life, and be extremely affordable almost seems to good to be true!!!
