Wisconsin should be in Tier 3.

WHY do you always put UCSF in these rankings? This is UNDERGRAD

Weird list anyway

This is your brain on internet addiction. Cornell and service academies excluded, nobody in the real world sees these degree mills as any different from one another. Overcrowded large impersonal state schools. Sorority or fraternity affiliation, 4.0 GPA, standardized test score (grad school), and internships is what differentiates students at these schools.

To each his own. I am from very Northern Illinois. Went to arguably the best ACC academic school on athletic scholarship. I didn’t care for the hot weather at the start of school and during the last two months. The cold never bothered me and no doubt there was a helpful toughness factor training in the cold. It helped in national competitions, too. Forced you to peak at the right time. Although I was a poor kid, my public high school of 2300 - the smallest in our athletic conference - had an average ACT of 28. Not a magnet either. There were advantages to the north. By the way - I turned down Michigan - not for the weather. All though a national level performer deep down (not a good thing) was not willing to make the deep athletic commitment. I did not have parents in my life and yet knew there was no better place for incredible athletics and academics.

You constantly post the same drivel over and over again. Can’t you see that you have a problem? Repetitive behavior is a sure sign of mental illness. Seek help!

When you start hallucinating that everyone is against you or everyone who has a different opinion from your narrow worldview is the same person, you’re spending way too much time online. Go touch grass.

I don’t accept advise from a deranged nutcase.

Did you learn that wisdom when you grew up in a podunk town in the middle of nowhere?

Taking your mental health seriously is not ridiculous. The upper Midwest is a depressing sunless place, especially during the school year.

A friend from high school dumped U of M for Arizona State. In December he was hanging out with a bunch of cheerleaders at the pool while the slugs in Michigan were stomping through 3 feet of snow. Poor guy was stuck in investment banking for 15 yrs because of his lightweight degree.

Three feet of snow? You realize that’s what 36” amounts to. Hyperbole does not lend to authenticity. In other words, I don’t believe your posting. Even so, ASU is not considered one of the better public schools in this country. #56 at USNWR. That’s the public school ranking. #121 overall. Not impressed. Sorry.

Sorry to burst your bubble but nobody values a Michigan or Indiana or Ohio State BA more than an Arizona State, Ole Miss or Florida BA. They’re all just large public degree mills. It’s a box checking degree. You don’t get any extra headhunters calling you because you were depressed and frostbitten in south Chicago or podunk West Lafayette or Ann Arbor for 4 yrs.

Look, no Arizona State! Your uniformed opinion has been noted. Nobody takes your comments seriously, except yourself. I’m sure you’ve responded to many of your own ridiculous postings in this discussion alone.

Well, that might explain why the UK economy is currently the worst performing in Europe.

So U of M being on a the list is what is holding back UK? Not Brexit?

Anything to back up that claim?
