[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is funny to me how people on dcum seem to put so much stock in USNWR rankings and metrics, without understanding or critically thinking about how they are arrived at.

Only terminally online shut-ins cite this random junk data from US News and Parchment. I've worked in education for over 25 years, I've never heard a parent in real life cite this nonsense. Nobel laureates is another. No teenagers give a darn about how many laureates are at college xyz (laureates rarely even talk to undergrads). My favourite is when flyover country persons cite one of those fake best places to live lists. Yes sweetie, your 20 degree Rust Belt town full of pensioners and fast food is a better place to live than [b]Malibu, Monterey, Manhattan Beach and La Jolla[/b].[/quote]

Not everyone wants the same thing and those places you listed? 
I think I lost my vomit emoji.
I'll take the pensioners in winter.[/quote]

Are you guys British?[/quote]

No, if memory serves, the crazed Michigan booster has lived in Michigan her entire life. And went to Michigan State for undergrad.[/quote]

I think there are a few "boosters" on this thread, but that has nothing to do with disliking Malibu, Monterey, Manhattan Beach, and La Jolla.

I think you meant to say the crazed Michigan hater who went to MSU undergrad. [/quote]

Yeah, I can’t imagine a Sparty grad boosting Michigan.[/quote]

MSU bachelor's, U-M for master's and lives in Ypsilanti or Ann Arbor.It's pretty obvious. Nobody who isn't trapped in the Rust Belt spams this obsessively.[/quote]
