erin's dad,
I just did the comparison on the LACs and the differences with the national universities are remarkable. There is great similarity between the overall LAC rankings and the PA rankings. There are also many colleges considered tops for classroom teaching excellence who are near the top of the comparison. Here is the full listing:
