Caltech is not “famously bad” for the humanities, any more than Chicago is “famously bad” for engineering. Its offerings are limited, to be sure, but what it does offer (e.g. economics) is extremely good. </p>
<p>Your comment about Yale is embarrassingly ignorant. Yale is top 10 in biology and math, nearly top 10 (#11) in geology and physics, and top 15 in chemistry…not exactly weak.</p>
<p>Incidentally, your comment about Duke being good at everything applies just as much to Chicago.</p>
