[quote=Anonymous]Michigan &gt; UVA &gt; Florida, overall in academics.

Look at the subject rankings for Michigan on Wikipedia. Is there any other school, other than Berkeley, that excels in such a ridiculous number of fields? Top 5's, top 10's, top 20's across the board.

Yeah sure, some of those are for graduate programs. Michigan is ranked top 7 for undergraduate teaching as well. Largest public endowment.

I'm not sure what makes UVA great, other than historical affiliation with Thomas Jefferson. Their rankings across the board are mediocre but they do are great for English.

Same with Florida, except its twice the size and doesn't have historical connections to famous people. It's ranked at 30, but I do consider it to be a weaker university academically than Texas, Washington, Maryland, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois (for engineering) and most UC's. You should check what ranking factor boosts their ranking to be so high, and check whether that ranking factor matters to you. [/quote]
