Student Debt! and I wonder how most of those schools would rank if getting out in four years instead of the common five, or even six?
I find these rankings to be suspect in many regards.
How about rank the colleges as to how successful graduates are five, ten, twenty years from graduation?
Rank them by how much of their student debt is retired five, ten, twenty years out.
Rank them by whether or not grads would send their children to the same schools (legacies).
So much goes into choosing a college. I am sure, 100% certain, that I would never permit my child (especially on MY dime!) to attend more than half of the colleges listed there. But that's just me.
