Just for kicks, I played around with this list. Here are the colleges according to their USNWR Top 50 national universities and Top 25 LAC ranks. I don’t see any pattern here other than the fact that publics generally graded higher than the privates. But to me, there were several pleasant surprises (Yale, Lehigh, Middlebury) and a few that I thought were a little harsh (Carnegie Mellon, Rice, Emory, Williams).

Obviously this stuff is only for entertainment purposes as beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder, but for those posters who often ask for schools with the “hot” boys and/or girls, you could probably do worse than this list.
