your contradicting yourself Bedhead, first you brush off one ranking(THES) due to huge diff in rankings between colleges that are similar in prestige/quality in the US, and then you put forth another ranking(ARWU) and lend credence to it even though its equally bs (just look at the diff between HYP and Y dropping out of top 10)...besides if this was directed to me, i've already stated clearly that to me the rankings are bs, though its a fact that many "uninitiated" ppl look to them like some "definitive evidence of academic repute and quality"
and you're justified to have your opinion on Berkeley, that its a great school because of the sheer amt of academic output....but to me, my main concern is the college, and in the respect i think most of the prestigious LACs and privates win hands-down
