[quote=Anonymous]These rankings are so insipid, particularly when it comes to choosing an undergraduate destination, which is much of what this board seems to be about. The very things that make JHU a global research powerhouse kind of help make it a difficult undergrad environment - like faculty whose focus is their own research, and rightfully so because many of them draw their salary not from the university but from the research grants they earn Brown has PhD programs but its institutional focus is undergrad instruction, to the point it was named #1 in that category by US News. It is impossible for any single ranking to capture the merit of any university when there are so many disparate parts - undergrad quality of life and teaching, faculty research in the hard sciences, faculty research in the humanities, professional schools, doctoral education, etc. [/quote]
