<p>You guys are way underestimating Wayne State!! Instate it has many graduates. Very successful ones I might add as well.</p>

<p>All of the UC’s except Merced are all ranked in the top 100 in US News rankings. I would say that the UC system is the best public university system in the world.</p>

54

<p>^I disagree. Virginia has the best.</p>

55

<p>Nope, I’m with Proteinman. I think the UC’s are truly outstanding.</p>

<p>^
I am skeptical. What kind of list ranks Claremont McKenna College, Loyola Marymount University, and Occidental College all higher than UC Berkeley? No way.</p>

58

<p>I can see Claremont McKenna above UC-Berkeley but not Loyola Marymount or Occidental</p>

59

<p>Florida: Univ. of Florida, Univ. of Miami Florida State, Univ. of South FL</p>

60

<p>For Massachusetts, I’d rank them:</p>

<p>UMass Amherst
Mass Art</p>

<p>Gap</p>

<p>UMass Dartmouth/UMass Lowell (tie)
Bridgewater State/UMass Boston (tie)</p>

<p>Big Gap</p>

<p>Salem State, Framingham State, Fitchburg State</p>

<p>Then all the rest. </p>

<p>UMass Amherst stands head and shoulders above the rest.</p>
