I've never considered the UNWR rankings to be the bible of school rankings. Factors tend to favor "touchy feely" liberal arts schools. Plus, once you get past the top 50 schools, I'm not sure the rankings really matter. Do employers care if you went to a 72nd ranked school vs. a 104 ranked school?

Strictly speaking, liberal arts schools have their own set if USNWR rankings independent of "universities." But I see where you're coming from.

This is true because of the student::professor ratio component.
I can see arguments for both sides here. On one hand, some students might benefit from more personal attention from the professor. On the other hand, big universities tend to attract the top professors (especially in STEM fields), so the course content is probably better in those environments but USNWR doesn't necessarily measure that.
