[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not like that here. This is a very large country with thousands of colleges, many of which are just too expensive for most people to attend, no matter the reputation. Also money and reputation tend to go hand in hand here, so elite usually isn't about academic quality.

The vast majority of students, even top students, will attend schools near home. Each state has its own hierarchy too. Many small private colleges are better than some state schools at the top of their lists, some niche colleges are significantly better for certain areas of study than even "brand name" colleges, etc.

If you want schools for the rich and famous (but not necessarily academic super stars -- though each of those schools requires some academic superstars to report in their well-massages stats), the standard lists from this site will serve your purpose.[/quote]

Great point. I think just getting a bigger picture but totally agree with your points that there are many options and finance also plays a big factor. [/quote]
