[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, college has been in session a couple of weeks now.  Did your college meet/exceed your expectations or is it not what it seemed?

[b]My daughter choose Colby in Maine over a number of schools.[/b]  She's super happy there.  Kids are nice and smart; classes challenging.  The new Davidson Center is already setting up an internship for her.  Having a fabulous time.

Others?[/quote]

Colby dropped from #12 to #18 in US News.  Quite a drop.[/quote]

And exactly what changed making Colby six places lower?

Quite a stupid comment, for many reasons.  Rankings are subjective, for one.  #12 and #18 are virtual ties out of 3,000 colleges.  And, also, you are just being a jerk to a parent who is expressing some joy.  Sorry you are joyless.[/quote]

Colby dropped because US News adjusted its formula to reward schools who are successful in enrolling and graduating an economically diverse student body.  Colby is less economically diverse than many other SLACs.[/quote]
