<p>I understand that this is value based study. But, I notice on the combined public and private “America’s Best Colleges” these were the results:</p>
<p>America’s Best Colleges - Forbes.com </p>
<p>Cal Poly SLO #201</p>
<p>USC #281</p>
<p>So in that regard Cal Poly did rank higher than USC. Again, I realize they’re talking about a better education investment. They *didn’t *say CPSLO was ranked higher nationally such as in US News & World Report. However, it’s certainly nice knowing we’re spending our money wisely on a good institution.</p>

<p>Cal Poly was never placed higher than Cornell and USC. Read carefully. It says country’s top “Public universities.” Cornell and USC are “Private” and are higher than Cal Poly’s 201 ranking if including public and private**</p>
