A better site that grades colleges on the “quality” of education students receives is whatwilltheylearn.com. It grades universities on whether they are teaching students what they need to learn to succeed.
Harvard, Ivy league schools and “elitist” private colleges, as well as Berkley, Occidental, University of Virginia-Charlottesville etc... get “D’s or “F”s.
Schools that get an “A” Texas A&M, University of Arkansas-Fayetteville, Baylor, West Point, Air Force Academy.
Virginia Tech, University of Oklahoma, University of Texas-Austin, etc... get a “B”.
Parents, business and the general public are starting to wake up to the financial ponzi scheme Harvard and the like provide and the fact a student can get a better education at a state college for a much better price.
Interesting site. I checked out my alma mater which received a "C"...fair enough I suppose; there's no excuse for not requiring American History at Gettysburg. The school does have a Religion requirement for all students which was not one of the evaluation criteria, and the site didn't give credit for "Composition" although all freshman are required to undertake a colloquy/seminar which is writing intensive.
Going to an Ivy League school gives a person connections with other elites, and teaches their students to treat ordinary people like they are insignificant.
