Xavier Named A Best Buy School by the Fiske College Guide

The main campus Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans, LA. Published in 2016, the 2017 edition of the Fiske Guide to Colleges has selected Xavier University of Louisiana among its “Best Buy Schools” for academics and affordability. The publication has designated 44 such institutions 20 public and 24 private as “Best Buys.” To qualify for the distinction, the colleges and universities must have a four or five-star academic rating, be in the inexpensive or moderate price category, and have a good quality of student campus life.
