Florida a great school, no doubt
Just always wonder , there is not 1 individual program where Florida ranks higher than Texas, who has 60 Top 10 programs
Not sure how they get those ranking

I never look at rankings other than knowing Texas and Texas A&M have always been academically prestigious. I had no clue Florida and Georgia were that high up. That’s brag worthy!

Wonder where the “data” comes from. While living in Houston 20 years ago, I heard someone say when someone graduates from Texas almost 90% become millionaires. It was a higher stat than Harvard. Don’t have the facts but I would be interested to see these statistics of “top schools”. When I graduated from Bama most of my professors attended Princeton, Michigan and Johns Hopkins so I’m sure the students received top level education compared to others.

We're kind of a big deal.
It's why you never see UGA and UF fans insult each other academically, despite us hating each other. We're academic peers.
We save our academic insults for Auburn and Tennessee, among others.

Georgia and California the only two states with two Top-10 public universities in one state.

C'mon, at least try to make these ranking look legitimate. Posted on 5/5/24 at 1:45 pm to deeprig9

I don't count West Point so Virginia is out

The last piece of shite talk that Georgia Tech had left was that UGA was a redneck farmer school and Tech was some kind of Ivy League institution.
Notice you haven't seen too many of them buzzing around lately. They lost their last and final talking point about 15 years ago.

What difference does it make? Football is what matters. I seriously doubt anyone here gives a frick about school ranking....well other than douchebags which explains why you care.

Niche is not as well-known as U.S. News or Forbes. Because its rankings are not as prestigious or referenced, they have much less of an impact on the reputations of different colleges. Additionally, because Niche uses many more factors in its rankings, it's likely to use criteria that don't matter to you in a college.
quote:
Niche rankings are based on the overall experience at traditional 4-year colleges and universities. Here's how Niche determines their "best colleges" rankings:
40% for academics and grades, which includes things like acceptance rates and student and alumni responses about a school's academics
27.5% for value, which includes average student loan amounts and alumni salaries
7.5% for professors, which considers student-to-faculty ratios and faculty awards
5% for campus, which is the quality of campus accommodations and facilities
5% for diversity, like the ethnic composition of the campus, the international student body percentage, and how many out-of-state students attend the school
5% for student life, which factors in things like safety, diversity, and athletics
5% to student surveys on overall experience
2.5% to the local area, including location, rent, crime rates, and local amenities
2.5% to safety, including the campus crime rate and health/safety services on campus
Additionally, Niche incorporates survey responses from students regarding the quality of academics at their college and statistics and survey responses about diversity on campus to determine the academics grade. Student survey responses are factored into the score a school receives for each category listed above.
All methodologies are flawed, but there is likely a reason this one has been around in various stages since 2002 and is not as well received or as notable as U.S. News and Forbes.

Maybe I’m confused. What does West Point have to do with Virginia?

UCLA has the lowest acceptance rate, 8.4%, of any public university in America and has the highest number of applicants at 150,000. UC Berkeley is second with 144,000.
Although UCLA is harder to get into, a degree from Cal carries more weight, especially in STEM. Berkeley is also more difficult to graduate from than UCLA.

UGA has never been UF's academic peer.
Athletic success is cyclical.
