Forbes: 25 Most Expensive Schools Worth Every Penny

Harvard could have been #26, you never know. :))

62

I just fail to understand why some people on CC get so offended when UPenn or Harvard don’t top the list.

Seems like a severe case of confirmation bias

63

No. Harvard is destined to be number one for everything. There is no way around it. All other schools are just a a tedious side show.

64

Also – any ranking that has Penn higher than 8 is also suspect ab initio.

65

Lol okay

66

I could have sworn that was Deshaun Watson and the Clemson Tigers beating Alabama Crimson and not the Harvard Crimson for #1 last January.

67

I don’t know what that means but YES I AGREE haha.

68

It was one of my bad jokes. Harvard isn’t #1 in football, so they can’t be #1 in EVERYTHING.

Sorry, when you have to explain jokes, they’re not very good. But I’m trying.

:))

69

I figured it was a sportsball thing, I know next to nothing about sports haha.

@Chrchill Also – any ranking that has Penn higher than 8 is also suspect ab initio.

Oh please lol here we go again, i m afraid you are wrong again. Penn can easily occupy any spot in the #6-#10 range after HYPSM. Penn is firmly a #6 -#10 school, as are Caltech, Columbia and Chicago.

I find way more suspect rankings that place Chicago or any other non-HYPSM school in the top 5 or above.

Also harvard is far from destined to be number one at everything. There are many things Harvard is not number one at. The notion that the validity of an undergraduate ranking is determined by whether Harvard is top or not, is rather ludicrous. Especially when it comes to undergrad.

71

Harvard was definitely not number one in this case:

LOL

72

Instead of using “HYPSM,” how about using “PHYSM” or 'SYMPH"?

I’m tired of seeing the “H” in front of the acronym. =))

73

@sushiritto i like PHYSM, SPHYM or SYMPH , they are also easier to say than HYPSM haha.

74

I like SYMPH

75

“MYSHP” is not bad either.

76

^ kind of hard/awkward to pronounce i think lol

77

It would be like saying “my ship.”

78

I hear UChicago is on the rise now, maybe in the future we’ll be using “PSYCHM”?

79

Actually – it’s only the big H

Cmon people, Chrchill is pulling everyone’s chain (and every effectively I might add).
