<p>You know, this goes to show that rankings aren’t everything. You don’t fall in love w/ a school because of its ranking but because of amazing student experiences, an engaging intellectual atmosphere, and great student-teacher interaction. A school’s professors and TAs set the tone for the institution. If they don’t care about their students, how can a student be expected to be passionate about his/her field of study? Unfortunately, great teaching isn’t factored in when ranking schools. Isn’t teaching supposed to be the main activity that colleges and universities is supposed to do?</p>
