uh em...what about Subway University?
Dude, it is so given and obvious that that college tops the first two lists that I didn't think I had to even mention it.
How about the 351 top party schools.
Although I doubt Princeton would make such a list. Leave it to the experts, like Paris Hilton, Jenna Bush, and Tara Reid.

I was so ashamed, but then I looked around at the diverse group of smiling faces from all over the country and the world and suddenly I felt better.

The Princeton Review is probably the best, most comprehensive company for college information as you can get. For ANYTHING.
Where is Univ of Cal - Berkley and Stanford? The list is so biased toward ivy league, eastern and private schools which are mostly liberal arts and law schools (talk about leeches of society). As far as I can see, only Northwestern and UAF Acad are not from the east coast. Universities of Illinois and Michigan are also conspiciously absent from the lists of academic achievement.
I prefer my school ratings from a source less blue-blooded and snooty.
