[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rice. No question.

Amherst second. [/quote]

Really?  I would have said Columbia, Amherst, and finally Rice. Nothing against Rice, but it’s less well known and it’s in Texas.  Not really a state known for academic excellence. [/quote]

That last sentence is so laughable on a forum that’s based in DC. Also funny considering that “academic excellence” is the absolute lowest priority for any Ivy/SLAC these days.

Unlike DC, where the DC police refused GW’s request to clear out the tent encampment on their campus, Texas is willing to do what’s necessary to make sure the students at their universities can continue to go to class and learn.

In any case, who would want to go to college in a state with booming economy? Anyone who actually has any sense.

Watch this animation and keep an eye on Texas and other southern states (and watch the Northeastern states drop). Texas and the South are the future. The Northeast schools had been living on prestige left over from past excellence, but are currently doing their level best to flush it all away. Add in a stagnant economy, and there’s no reason to go to school in the NE there unless your dream is to spend the rest of your life teaching ecofeminism for minimum wage.
