[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM loves to quote USNWR stats. Well look at this one:

https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/undergraduate-teaching

Even here Michigan is top 20. #13 actually. So not “many schools” have better undergraduate quality than Michigan. Michigan has virtually no weakness as an academic institution.  Yes even comparable to most of the Ivies.

Michigan is a good school but it is maybe way too large with its 40000+ student body and large class sizes ([b]200+ in every classes)[/b] for some kids to handle.[/quote]

You do realize that all schools have 200+ kids in Freshman classes and this starts thinning out as the classes progress, right?  Or do you think all schools have a fixed quota of teachers and they just have to manage regardless of number of students?  [/quote]

Not my kid's CTCL.[/quote]

What's a CTCL?  Is that like a SLAC or NESCAC?[/quote]

NP Colleges Theat Change Lives. They are (largely) small LACs that invest in students in unique ways to make this list. They tend to be in the mid rankings of LACs on US News. Some great alternatives to higher ranked schools.[/quote]
