If US News used criteria that many undergrads think are important (like sports, financial aid, "best buy", quality of life, student/teacher interaction & engagement, diversity, etc.) I'm sure many of the Top 10 schools wouldn't be in the Top 10 anymore.

<p>good post, I think this is very true</p>

<p>i almost fell off my chair about northern virginia being the most liberal area of the state. Tell that to Tom Davis, Frank Wolf etc. It may be getting more liberal as northerners flood the area, but its politicians certainly didn't help fund the university in the past.</p>
