<p>On other posts throughout CC, it is often reported that Forbes is the least quoted, least accurate and least reliable “Ranking” found. But they do sell more issues having some kind of college ranking! They essentially use only one methodology and it is totally subjective as it is a survey. Want to see a reliable and respected ranking? stick with US News and World Report that looks at ALL (well over 2,000) US colleges.</p>
