<p>The Daily Caller has released a new set of college rankings, taking into account hard factors such as cost and graduation rate, as well as soft factors such as professor quality and social life. At number one… The University of Virginia. Harvard stumbles in at 31. What are your thoughts?</p>

<p>If “hotness” is a category by which to judge colleges, can there be a “coldness” category?</p>
<p>Schools are complex institutions and communities. While the category rankings might help guide some students, trying to calculate a numerical “grand total” for schools is as ridiculous as ranking entire cities or countries.</p>
<p>Considering the amount of ads on this website along with some of the factors they used to produce these rankings, I think it’s pretty safe these rankings are about as trustworthy as a loan shark.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t consider “student attractiveness rating” to be part of “everything that matters”. This is a bunch of useless BS.</p>
