| USNWR College Rankings
Just went to the bookstore and the 2009 rankings are out, the top 20 look as follows:
1) H
2) P
3) Y
4) S
4) M
6)Cal
6) Penn
8) Col
8) Duke
8) U Chic
11) Dart
12) Wash U
12) NW
14) Cor
15) JHU
16) Brown
17) Rice
18) Emory
18) ND
18) VD
Columbia at 8th place is the highest we've been ranked in over a decade possibly ever by usnews.
I think the rankings aren't great, but they influence people so moving up is a +

tied at #18... Venereal Disease!
Dartmouth sure moved up considerably. Brown has kinda fallen off the table.

^actually D has been 9-11 for eons, brown's been about 15 for eons too (perhaps underrated by the rankings). chicago for under grad rankings is at a peak.

ridiculous to say that penn is equal with caltech. caltech is #1 in the country imo, for what it does. hands down strongest student body.

I don't know about that. When I visited, I wasn't really impressed by the students I spoke with. Either I had unbelievable B.O., Ebola, or they were a bit anti-social.

"strongest student body" doesn't exactly imply "strongest social skills," but we certainly do have normal people here. come on a tour - our guides are good people to talk to!
