There were some real head turners on this list.
First would be the fact that there are more than a dozen Cal Stare campuses listed in the top 80 and as high as #17 San Jose Stare as well as a less prestigious UC campus #14 Merced.
Second is the number of other less prestigious privates and publics scattered around the country. Here are the top ten from this group:
#36. Detroit Mercy
#51. Quinnipiac
#54. Florida International
#64. Towson
#67. Montclair State
#71. George Mason
#73. Manhattan
#74. Augustana
