LOL !

But, every school on this list of 25 is outstanding. Would be tough to justify telling a student at, for example, Johns Hopkins (JHU) that he or she is not in a top 10 academic environment.

According to this ranking, both of my kids go to top 10 colleges. So this is obviously the best list.

Niche is terrible. Too much reliance on unscientifically collected surveys. Total bs.

So Anonymous reviews? I say we start the DCUM Rankings.

Residents? Like they ask people who live in Hanover what they think of Dartmouth even if they have zero affiliation with the university?

Ha. Yeah, please ask the townies what they think. That's a good idea. /s

The bottom line list of colleges isn't much different than USNWR , ranking order notwithstanding.

Great list

Called "niche" for a reason.

If anybody still cares then they'll humor you with an argument

Kids at Cornell are surprisingly happy ...
