Forbes: Rankings of Best Colleges

<p>peskemom-</p>

<p>loving your take on this!!!</p>

<p>Forbes listed daughters college in the low 200’s…
I guess that is due in large part to the $48k per year tuition-
and the Jesuits are never “easy” when it comes to academics-
top 50 on any other list-
but it was #1 for her!!!
so according to Forbes- she did the physics at the 200 rank school, but the engineering courses at the top 10 rank… maybe I will just average the two and leave it at around 100!!! </p>

<p>Just imagine all the folks paying out big bucks for their top college choice listed on the princeton or USNews and World Report- only to find Forbes has put them hundreds of spots lower!!! Bet some egos are really out of joint today! :eek:</p>

<p>ps… had a good friend who sent her daughter to Brown- on the 5 year plan- at goodness knows how much $$$$- she graduated with a degree in “puppetry”… fast forward 3+ years and she is still unemployed at last count. It’s not always about the education-but what one does with it that counts. Wonder where Bill Gate’s garage ranks on the Forbes list!!! LOL!!!</p>
