[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Statistically it is wrong to to assign a numerical store to its school because the margin of error of its data sources is greater than the difference of the scores.

They should rank schools in tiers:

1. Super elite tier: HYPMS

2. Elite tier (6 - 15): Columbia, Penn, Chicago, Duke, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, ...

3. Top tier (16 - 30): These schools are equals in terms of prestige and rankings -- UVA, Michigan, UCLA, Cal, CMU, Emory, Georgetown, NYU, USC, Georgia Tech ...

4. Wake Forest, W&M ...

Except, Tier Person, Wake Forest now outranks UVA.[/quote]

At your "Top Tier" schools like Cal, UCLA, you can live on campus for about 1 year out of 4+ years.  At Michigan, perhaps 1.3 out of 4+ years..  At Yale, Harvard, and Princeton, you will live on campus for all 4 years.  These aren't even remotely the same type of schools.

Idiot, you can live on campus all 4 years at Michigan. In fact, seniors who have lived on campus for 3 years have top pick for housing their senior year.

If you’re going to criticize schools at least learn basic facts about them.

Also, are you trying to say they don’t have the money to provide housing? Michigan’s endowment is 12 billion—9th highest in the country. [/quote]

I'm saying it is a completely different experience.  It isn't residential like the other schools.

Huh? Where do you get that idea?

Michigan isn’t a commuter school or something ...[/quote]

70% of students are "commuting" from off campus housing.  At Harvard is 3%.  At Princeton, it is 6%.  They are different experiences.[/quote]
