Colby is in the top 10% of LACs in the country. You don’t have to love the college, but why would that make you scratch your head?
Northeastern, Colby, Rhodes are usually picked by students who got into William and Mary and in some cases better LACs yet chose these schools, at full price, when they are not a good, objectively, on many measures.

Colby is also in the top 50.
What's Rhodes?? Never heard of it.
PP is weird.
Rhodes is Amy Coney Barret's alma mater, so you can judge from that...
If your kid goes there she will be on the Supreme Court someday? Must be a great school!

Over 50% acceptance rate.
I'll judge ftom that.
I don't really care for acceptance rates. Just a status symbol for how few you're willing to educate and how much you can game USNews.
You sound ignorant.
Acceptance rate doesn't affect USNews ranking.
However I care.
50% acceptance rate means 1 out of 2 can easily walk in. That affects quality of the student body a lot.
I want my smart kid surrounded by other smart kids.
It's very important.
It determines the level of classes and students learn from other students a lot.
I know what an acceptance rate is. I think your smart child can find smart people at many more places than you consider however. I went to a top college, and boy, for being the "smartest" people in the collegiate space, there sure were a bunch of dummies around. Your kid ultimately will decide who they hang out with.
It's not just about choong who to hang out.
You don't choose who are in the classes.
Of course top schools have some dummies and lower tier schools have some smart kids, but you are likely to be surrounded by more smart kids at top schools. I would stay away from a school one every other kid can walk in.

Oh here we go again. A few years back they accepted a mediocre student with a 1320 SAT from my kid’s school with no sport, music, or other long-term discernible talent. I wouldn’t call this student top-tier. She’s also had a very hard time finding her people.
The link is for a few years back in 2018 when tests were required. Random stories don't mean much.
Not impressed with a school that has mastered gaming the rankings.
Nobody cares about you.
The schools gets 100K apps from top tier students

It's actually on the cheaper side with Average Annual Cost = $28,521
https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/school/?167358-Northeastern-University
For example compared to some of the peer schools
Tufts = $35,123
BC = $39,090
NYU = $32,462
Dumb people are clueless.
