Diversity & Safety are holding A&M and UGA back.

Edit: Looking into it that only makes up about 10%.

Academics & Value make up 50%.

This "study" has been debunked numerous times.

By anyone who sees that student surveys are a significant part of every criteria and most schools have less than 200 responses. At best this is a "neat" thing but in no way shape or form can this really be taken with a grain of salt.

I'm probably just being a bit pissy today and this is the study's third round on this site and second place I have seen it today.

Ha..we got an A in 3 very important areas:

1. Greek life
2. Best looking girls
3. Best looking guys

And an A+ in the most crucial component: athletics.

Overall we were given an A.

And Farmer..in ranking public universities, South Carolina was 40th on this list. Didn't click on your link so not sure which top 100 you are referring to.

Starkville:

Oxford:

Seems legit

Any survey that has acceptance rate as a major selection criteria is discredited from the beginning. How does diversity factor in the quality of the education and the same for athletic performance.

Just like clockwork an Auburn fan to chime in and tell us why this study is somehow bogus. Knew it was coming sooner rather than later when Alabama was ranked higher than Auburn....lol
