some people say,CC attracts lots of elite students.However,I have doubt,real elite students know how to think independently,not referring to rankings all the time.

sometimes,USnews makes much sense.Top 100 is truly inferior to top 10.But there's no actually difference between 20 and 21 or something like that.Some schools are simply on the same level and there's no need to distinguish them.But USnews has to because they need make a clear list that more people will pay for the complete ranking.

Anyway,I really like one thing about USnews,that is,they collect some important datum that make sense.But the way to rank school by the datum is questionable.

The reason you need to go to college is that you want to make yourself a better person.Going to a top school helps a lot,going to a school that makes you happy can help even more.
