| i think its overrated and i've been here for two semesters. i used to go to tulane, and i think it is a much better school than UNC, subjective reputation perceptions aside. unfortunately i cannot heed your call to leave UNC because it is too late for me to transfer back. ideally i think unc should be ranked somewhere around where UW-Madison is right now. it think all the other state schools in the top , except UVA, are overrated as well. there's no way a any of those huge state schools with resources stretched to the limit should be able to compete with the lower ranked privates like WFU and Tufts in or near the top 30. the only reason they are able to make it up there is because of the inflated and subjective peer ratings. those top 5 publics do really well in this category because their name get thrown out there a lot (basketball, football, nobel prize winners etc.). |
