[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course one can compare LAC rankings with National Universities. Is it apples to apples of course not. Analogy everyone would say top ranked LACs Williams and Amherst are better than Vandy, ND or Emory. Both BC and Villanova were not ranked by US News until the 1990s as both were regional schools. But another fact HC at 3,000 kids has graduated 5 Rhodes Scholars while BC at 10,000 enrollment just 2.[/quote]
I wouldn't be so sure Williams and Amherst are better than ND, Emory, Vandy etc. If they are, its only by a tiny bit. [/quote]

Williams is better than those schools, Amherst probably even - [/quote]

Better how?  More selective, absolutely.  But the top students at Vanderbilt would be as impressive as the top students at Williams.  Those students just prefer different things.  Spending four years at a LAC Williamstown MA is a much different choice than choosing a research university in Nashville. Both valid choices.[/quote]
