<p>I don’t think colleges should be ranked. However, since some insist on doing it, I’m more comfortable with objective criteria than subjective criteria. Otherwise, how a college/university is ranked will have about as much use as opinions on ice cream flavors. </p>
<p>There is just no reason for anyone to be defensive about a great school like Bard. Personally, I’d prefer Bard over the so-called “higher ranked” Williams and a lot of other CC Top Liberal Arts Colleges. </p>
<p>I’m not saying I AGREE with the rankings. I’m simply responding to a couple of earlier posters who wanted to know why Bard wasn’t on the Top LACs list on CC. Again, I don’t think colleges should be ranked at all. </p>
<p>I don’t see any daylight between your opinion and mine.</p>
