I hate general rankings. They're by and large worthless. Get a degree in what you want where you want if you can afford it. If you can't really afford a degree, then get it in something that is worth a shite somewhere that is close.

That's what I don't get. Ranking universities as a sum of parts is fricking worthless at this scale. There's not enough difference to matter in any meaningful way. I'm in architecture at Auburn and I only care about how good that program is. Vandy doesn't have an architecture program, why should I care where Auburn as a whole is ranked in comparison?

This is absolutely right, but it's always fun to argue in these threads.
