It seems that there are more high quality universities than liberal arts colleges, so you can’t just make that comparison.</p>
<p>Furthermore, rankings attempt to quantify colleges in a way that can’t be done. They don’t even measure education, rather more like prestige and money. In this regard, universities and liberal arts colleges will be wildly different.</p>
<p>And it merits adding that, if you must live by the rankings, no other school in the history of the rankings has risen as fast or as far as Fordham currently is. With their acceptance rate dropping another 10 percentage points and the average student stats increasing and the new developments occurring, it looks as though the rise will be continuing.</p>
<p>I am tempted to believe that you have not visited the Bronx lately. Either that, or you’re incredibly privileged. A working class area with a lot of immigrants from other countries and cultures is more of a positive, and certainly not a ghetto.</p>
