I'm tempted to crap on this list but I have no idea what their methodology is. Manhattan has a sales tax of roughly 82% and she's is significantly cheaper than Iowa City when it comes to food, rent, and gas. Also Jackson, Mississippi, I feel like the dollar down there has twice the buying power down there than everywhere else, like you can buy a house for like $300. You can buy a whole opossum to eat for $2.50.

that said, this seems like a great list and methodology. I have no qualms with how they arrived at their rankings.

Yeah I have a hard time imagining anywhere in Mississippi is more expensive than any other state.

Oh you’re going to Baylor? Good for you. My parents aren’t going to pay for anything so I can only afford Berkeley.

Surprised (not!) that Ames, IA didn’t make the cut.

Yeah, Ames was autocorrected in my post to she's. COL in Ames isn't particularly cheap, but it's a lot cheaper than Iowa City.
