I'd say you are no better prepared for your career at Arkansas, Tennessee, or LSU that you are at Texas A&M, Georgia, or Florida. Vanderbilt is an exception b/c it's private. But, state schools prepare you at about the same level as other state schools.

Ok, so that list is partially weighed by international faculty, and international students.


Thus, the "World" rankings.

It just depends on what you're getting your degree in.

But, UVa slipped to #123 on that list. UVa is widely known as one of the best public universities in this country. So what if they've got a few less international students or faculty members. I'd rather understand what in the actual frick my econ teacher is saying.

You mean just state schools in the SEC? I disagree. Couple of engineering firms that consider undergrad institution and recruit heavily at Auburn, UF, and A&M and would disagree with you as well.
