I almost looked at the list then I realized I couldn't afford to go to any of those schools so what does it matter. I got a full ride to a decent college which is fine by me.

Cool list. I'll be going to college in a couple of years so it's interesting to look at.

Be mindful, by the way, that Nationally Ranked universities are generally better than Masters universities. And Liberal Arts Colleges are generally better than Comprehensive Colleges. So a Tier 4 National University may actually be better than a #26 Master's University.

Yes, University of Bumfuck has always been viewed as more of a party school than anything.

McGill is probably the cheapest (in terms of fees) best rated University.

my uni was just ranked 5th in management in portugal, a huge disappointment. those fuckers at UNL took #1, the catholic unis got #2 and 4 and ISCTE is 3rd.

my uni is the oldest for economics/management in portugal and used to be the best, but they have really let themselves go these past few years. too many incompetent teachers and subjects that make me feel like i haven't really learned anything by the end of the semester :/
there are some excellent teachers and strong subjects, but 50% really good and 50% really bad teaching just makes for an average uni.
