Believe me, the universities on the list aren’t wild about being there, either, because the ranking is based on nothing objective or meaningful, either. Just know that The University of Arizona is tops in things like physical and life sciences, environmental sustainability studies, optical sciences, health sciences and liberal arts. Just sayin’.
Hello, Paul, and thanks for your comments. As I tell parents, the fact is that any school is a party school. Further, you are right to point out that any campus, including yours, has many more aspects to it than Playboy (or US News or Kiplinger’s or Barrons or Princeton Review) can or will take into account in their rankings. In the end, it’s all about finding the best match for each individual student.
santa barbra should be higher!
