University of Arizona Tuition

Students stream past the Administration building during a break between classes on the University of Arizona campus, Thursday, April 3, 2014, Tucson, Ariz.

For the third year in a row, the University of Arizona has named one of 200 colleges and universities that give students the best educational value.

The Princeton Review has again selected UA as part of this year's edition of "Colleges That Pay You Back: The 200 Schools That Give You the Best Bang for Your Tuition Buck," according to a UA news release.

The schools were selected from a group of 650 colleges and universities that provided the Princeton Review with return-on-investment ratings, which weighed more than 40 data points covering areas such as academics, cost, financial aid, graduation rates, student debt, alumni salaries and job satisfaction, the release said.

Although the schools on the list aren't ranked, Princeton Review does rate them on a scale of 1 to 100 in several categories. The UA received high marks in the campus life category, performing well in green initiatives, quality of life and fire safety. The school also rated high in return on investment, financial aid and admissions, the release said.
