lol Vanderbilt higher than Princeton?[/quote]

Vanderbilt ranking high is pretty reflective of reality in 2025. But I'm still perplexed why UCLA ranks so much higher than Berkeley. This is obviously a very undergrad focused list of schools, which makes it useful. I'm guessing they put some weight into student experience. Also, this list seems to value STEM. It's not often that you see Harvey Mudd as the best SLAC. But I totally agree with it.  [/quote]

Berkeley is famous for academics but quality of life is worse than UCLA.[/quote]

Berkeley's academic quality is tanking.  Niche is right for placing them where they do.
