[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] U of Michigan, U of Florida and U of Virginia are the All Around Best schools. [b]These three schools are all top 30 ranked schools based on US News and World Report that have strong Division IA sports teams, reasonable tuition (especially for in-state) and students/alumni that actually love attending the school.[/b]

Relating to the "top 10" thread, those schools only admit a small number of students (and those are typically legacy, minority, or sports hooks) and cost $75,000 plus per year.   [/quote]

You are hoping to make something true just through assertion, and elevate U of Florida in the process.

Even on your own criteria, seemingly set at 30 and referencing only US News to exclude anything below U of Florida, you have for some reason excluded from consideration UCLA, UC Berkeley, UNC, and UC Santa Barbara.  What separates U of Michigan, U of Florida, and U of Virginia from those schools based on your criteria.

If you are basing this significantly on NCAA sports, UCLA has 119 championships, UNC has 46, Michigan 39, Berkeley 38, Florida 37, and UVA 29 (maybe now 30).  So not sure why UCLA, UNC, and Berkeley would be excluded.

For students/alumni that "actually love attending the school" what evidence are you looking at?  Not a single one of these shows up in the top 20 in Princeton Review for "students love these colleges" and only UC Santa Barbara shows up in Princeton Review's "happiest students" listing.  However, there are other public schools on those lists that would seem worthy of consideration.

For undergraduate academic quality or graduate program quality, not sure why Berkeley, UCLA, and UNC would be excluded, and you could certainly make a case for a number of schools beyond the ones listed above.
