[quote=Anonymous]Research has an impact on the quality of the professors, course offerings and the program, as those are designed by the professors, as well as quality of TA's as those are generally graduate students who choose colleges based on research. More research-accomplished professors also tends to mean more difficult and rigorous coursework. So to say research has no impact is simply untrue. There's a reason the most selective colleges tend to be research behemoths, and colleges like Cal Tech and MIT have more grad students than undergrads. UVA is actually rather alone in selective national universities in terms of its lack of research, although Georgetown and Notre Dame are also two other national universities that lack research, and Washington University's (and to a smaller extent Johns Hopkin's) reputation is primarily based on its medical school research than other subjects.
