<p>I didn’t know that these were out yet, thanks! It’s great to see some of the smaller/less well-known LACs move up in the rankings, which I think is indication that more people are recognizing the value of the education they provide. I wish US News would do a combined ranking though, but I realize that there are too many different factors.</p>
