So their overall rankings don’t add up at all with their top 5s? What a useless ranking. A bunch of useless categories like “campus experience and student experience”

By their own scoring, Williams should be the #1 college, and CMC should be #3. But in the college rankings they rank lower-scoring colleges higher. Are these two not 'colleges'?

Williams placed in the university subcategory, presumably because of its PhD-level degrees. CMC also appears in the university category, for a reason maybe someone else can explain.

Of interest, several schools that were omitted in previous years now appear. Examples include Williams (#8), Bowdoin (#40), Wake Forest (#80) and Bates (#83).

Williams doesn’t have PhD degrees, but both it and cmc have masters programs
