They get nice shit when they study. That's definitely a benefit.

Seems like kids want nice shit more than they want cheap school. Otherwise most of these private schools wouldn't exist, everyone would go to Suny Binghamton for 4k/yr not Syracuse for $40k.

The consumer does not seem to be too concerned with cost during the selection process.

You really should mix them yourself imo, the bottled ones tend to be pretty sweet, which diminishes the refreshment. Ratio 60:40 beer to lemonade at least. I just tend to use whatever is in the house, might be something like Bitburger, König Pilsner or some other regional pilsner... Beck's should be fine although it's not my favourite.
The pilsner's bitterness tends to fluctuate a lot throughout Germany and adjacent countries, in northern Germany they're way more bitter than the Austrian Stiegl you get, which makes them more refreshing to me in a Radler.

Sorry for the essay on beer and Biermischgetränke :D

I'm not sure this data is very meaningful. The ranking metric used is a "weighted" tuition based on how many students pay out of state vs in state tuition. This is not very useful as a student is either one or the other. Better off to show the hours based on both or just one than a weird average. It is more a map of states with higher or lower shares of in state students.
