<p>Why don’t we just stop comparing things altogether? Seriously. When you pick a college you SHOULD do so for which one fits best and the one you feel you’d get the most out of it, which ranges incredibly from person to person. I personally love to be able to take a large variety of courses, which Cornell easily offers simply by having so much variety that other schools lack.</p>
<p>If we continue to put others down to try to make ourselves feel better, we’re simply feeding into what USNews wants us to. Systematic ranking. Cornell stopped caring about the rankings – look at the [this</a> article from the Sun](<a href=“http://cornellsun.com/node/27837]this”>http://cornellsun.com/node/27837), where our provost stated Rankings are based on wealth and manipulating data. We can worry about our ranking or we can be who we are and take advantage of what makes Cornell unique. Let us take advantage of our uniqueness, in embracing “Any person, any study,” and let us forget about this infernal ranking business.</p>
