[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blame this on U.S. News rankings. You have to go down to #21 before you get to a public university, Cal-Berkely. And then maybe only 3 or 4 in the top 30. Some people who are asking about "prestige" really are motivated by that factor. I agree it isn't a good way to choose a college, but certain names do impress employers and graduate programs more.[/quote] No you just go to the separate ratings of "public university". There you will find Berkeley or UVA at the top, UVA or UCLA at no. 2, etc. Michigan below those three. You cannot compare a SLAC college to a public university. They are apples and oranges. https://news.virginia.edu/content/among-nations-elite-us-news-gives-uva-no-2-public-university-ranking[b][/quote]
