| @jazzymom: I'm not saying the forbes list is a valid list, im just saying its not 100% invalid either, same w/ the USNWR list. Bottom line is that lists (no matter how exciting they are ;-P) can't be used to evaluate schools. You have to come up with your own criteria and create a list of your own based on that.
I applaud forbes for trying to take a less numbers based approach to college rankings- regardless of their ultimate success. Hopefully they will continue this list and refine their methodology along the way. |
