<p>What do you guys think are the top 20 colleges? I don't really agree with the US News and World Report and it is also a little out dated. Brown under Cornell and Wash U ahead of both of them? No Way.</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s outdated, seeing as it’s updated annually. And WUSTL is a perfectly good school even if it isn’t an Ivy.</p>
<p>I think people pay too much attention to USNWR college rankings.</p>
<p>A realistic ranking would rate the top 25 national universities on the U.S. New list in a 25-way tie in terms of educational opportunities. There are differences in social cache, but those are wildly exaggerated as well.</p>
<p>That’s my considered opinion, having attended more than ten percent of those 25 schools.</p>
<p>perfectly good doesn’t sound like a great description for a school that is considered top 10 in the country.</p>
