re: Forbes America's Best Colleges

I read through the list of criteria that are new. There is one now that has to do with how much aid the school gives to underprivileged kids and how they turn out. I'm not saying that is a bad thing but is it really a criteria one uses when picking schools. If a state like California throws a lot of cash at poor students at the expense of putting their state more in debt? I guess it helps those kids but how about the people paying all the taxes? Might be better in the long run. Might not.
