mejor compra

Explanation:
La traducción literal es "mejor compra" siempre y cuando entendamos que se está hablando de la universidad que ofrece el mejor precio por sus servicios. Otra opción más larga sería "la de mejores precios", pero esto es opcional.

muy buena inversion

Explanation:
No digo "la mejor inversion", porque, segun el parrafo, esta universidad es una de DOS universidades consideradas, reconocidas o catalogadas con este titulo. Hay que suponer que en esta misma guia hay universidades de otras areas (not only Midwestern) que tambien llevan el titulo de "best buy".
Otra opcion: magnifica inversion.

Example sentence(s):

Catalogada por ..... como "muy buena inversion".
