sakurahanabira 6,634 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I don't really like these lists because these rankings are not fixed across the board past the top 10. For example, my university is listed as #45 on this site's list but #75 on another (I went to another University of California school that was a few cities away from Berkeley and near Sacramento).

BibimbapSet 0 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 this seems like a us biased list tbh my school's there tho Agreed. These lists are way biased. Basically, schools know what criteria the lists depend on and they game the system. All of our rising tuitions go to pay for junk that doesn't improve teaching & learning, but it does move our school up the list. ughhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
