<p>Claremont McKenna is underrated because it is in the shadows of Pomona</p>
<p>Harvey Mudd is underrated because it is in the shadows of CalTech</p>
<p>and because few people know how to actually pronounce the name of the school correctly</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>USC and Notre Dame are underrated because people think that schools with great football teams can’t be great academically.</p>
<p>UCSD is underrated because there is no way a great institution with many top ten departments can be located in God’s country (beautiful La Jolla) overlooking the Pacific Ocean - no way…</p>
<p>Truman State University is underrated because of its location in a small town and because of its small enrollment. It’s in a town (Kirksville, Missouri) with a little less than 20,000, while TSU has only about 6,000 students, very small for a public school. It still however, is very high quality, most consider it to be the best public school in Missouri.</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, how IS Bowdoin pronounced?</p>
<p>^ I pronounce is bo (like the name “bo”)-do (pronounce like the do in “do do” bird)-in (pronounce like the word “in”).</p>
<p>Florida Southern College is underrated because it cannot even get a “Forum” on CC.
Though Fisk University has not had a post in 3 years.</p>
<p>Florida Southern is reviewed and discussed in the following</p>
<p>the Insider’s guide to the Colleges 2010, 2009, etc
Princeton Review “The Best 371 Colleges”
US News and World Reports</p>
<p>Private, small, gives great merit and need aid.</p>
<p>Dartmouth is named for the Earl of Dartmouth. In England Dartmouth is a town named for its river, the Dart, and is located at its mouth.</p>
<p>Boston College is underrated because every college in the area falls under the shadows of Harvard and MIT, and because it is Catholic – which many people equate with limited reasoning ability. lol.</p>
<p>Georgetown is underrated because it pretends to be not Catholic and is an ivy wannabe.</p>
<p>Georgetown is underrated? LMAO.</p>
<p>You’re right, maybe Georgetown is OVERrated because it pretends it’s not Catholic.</p>
<p>Holy Cross and Colgate are underrated due to lack of graduate programs. Both schools, however produce leaders in business, science, political communities.</p>
<p>Wisconsin is underrated because people confuse it with Minnesota.</p>
<p>Washington University in St. Louis is underrated because it is located in the Midwest</p>
<p>University of Iowa is underrated because it’s located in a low populated state west of the Mississippi river.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Bow (as in bow and arrow)-din.</p>
<p>The University of Florida and University of Georgia are underrated because no one wants to admit there are great schools in the SEC besides Vanderbilt.</p>
<p>Virginia Tech is underrated because it’s crowded out by UVa. Its programs are very respectable, and its engineering program is ranked amongst the top 25 in the nation.</p>
<p>University of Hawaii is underrated because of its geographical location</p>
<p>Texas and Texas A&M are underrated because George Bush is from Texas.</p>
<p>Interesting how so many folks think that schools located outside of the Northeast are underrated. Probably has a lot to do with the Ivy-centricity of the NY-based media that perpetuates a strong public image for the Ivies while ignoring the quality that exists elsewhere.</p>
