Isn't it time to add USC to CC Top University List?

The third largest college in my state doesn’t even have a listing! Indiana Univeristy Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI) is not even there, but the dinky little satellite in South Bend is. Can we correct that as well?

It shows up for me. Out of alphabetic order, admittedly, but it’s there.

Truthfully, though I have no dog in this fight, I think USC should be in top colleges as well. It is one of those schools mentioned constantly, and it would be easier to click.

Home page -> Top Colleges -> USC

vs.

Home page -> Colleges -> S -> USC (alternately, “cc usc” in Google provides a direct link)

The issue is people feeling snubbed; it’s not a matter of having to lift a finger and click an extra time. For example, the reason you don’t hear Hopkins people complaining – despite the Ivies being on the main page and JHU not – is because all of their non-Ivy peers are in the same boat (including very good ones like MIT and Caltech). USC posters are lumped with colleges like USF and USC-Columbia rather than schools they consider peers, however, so they feel snubbed.

Personally, I would not be sad to see all direct links/categories of Ivies, “top universities,” and “top LACs” disappear from this site entirely. It only fuels the mania that certain colleges are “the” colleges and makes lower achieving students feel unwelcome.
