Universities are highly popular now. And for good reason. It’s hard to get a decent job anywhere in the U.S. without at least a bachelor’s degree. Many good jobs demand even more. So where should you get your degrees? You could go the cheap way and do a state college. Or you could dish out a huge sum and go to one of the best universities in the U.S. Which one tops all the others? You decide!

Set in Providence, Rhode Island, Brown University is easily one of the top universities in the U.S. It's popular for its flexibility. That is, students of Brown are in charge of their own academic studies with over 70 concentration programs to choose from. It also as a program in Liberal Medical Education, in which students earn both a bachelor's degree and a medical degree in as little as eight years. This school is another private school, but certainly worth the price.

Yale University can be found in New Haven, Connecticut. It's a relatively small university with the resources of a major research one. Students are divided between 12 residential colleges. These colleges offer a supportive environment for living, learning, and socializing. Totally worth the sky-high tuition, right?

Finally getting away from the East Coast and heading the West Coast, we have Stanford University in California's Bay Area, which is only about 30 minutes from San Francisco. Students have plenty of opportunities to get involved in research projects as they focus on the private school's stress on the multidisciplinary combination of teaching, learning, and researching.

Princeton University is covered in beautiful ivy. It's a private institution in quiet little Princeton, New Jersey. It was the first university to offer a “no loan” policy to financially needy students. Instead, the university gives grants instead of loans to these accepted students.

Found in Chicago's Hyde Park community, the private University of Chicago gives a rich campus life right in the middle of a big city setting. Ever since 1987, the university has hosted the University of Chicago Scavenger Hunt. This is a four-day event that is suggested to be the largest scavenger hunt in the world. Who wouldn't want to go to a school with such a record?
