Just finished looking over a study titled Revealed Preferences in Ranking of Colleges from 2004 (almost 20 years ago). The group studied 105 colleges & universities and listed them together in order of preference from #1 to #105. Below, I separate the schools into two broad categories: National Universities and LACs (although the #30 preferred school--Furman University--falls into neither category and the same for the #82 school--Rose Hulman Inst. of Tech.)
