Just how much liberal BIAS and south hater is USNews?

<p>because most graduates of state schools find jobs in the state where the school is…</p>

<p>“UC Irvine is like a 4 year community college. A commuter school by all means. I would compare it with UT-Arlington”</p>

<p>This is complete ignorance. And we wonder why schools in the “south” are ranked so poorly.</p>

64

<p>Yes the economics taught “a la Obama or Nancy Pelosi”. They should be number one in that ranking.</p>

65

<p>I wonder why UC Irvine is regarded as a commuter school all over google searches, then?</p>

</p>

<p>UTEP has a near 100% acceptance rate and an average math SAT of under 500. Davis accepts 50% of applicants and an average M/R SAT of 1200.</p>

<p>Maybe UTEP is “average” for Texas?</p>

<h1>2 is Chicago, the most conservative department in the nation.</h1>

67

<p>

</p>

<p>Because in comparison to other UCs it has a higher proportion of commuters. </p>

<p>Heh, I don’t agree with Pelosi’s agenda - and I graduated from Berkeley…they failed to brainwash me. ;)</p>

68

<p>Says who? I hardly doubt it since the city of Chicago is a liberal mecca in the midwest.</p>

<p>UC Davis is mediocre state school at best, but not as much commuter as Irvine (a 4 year community college). It is the equivalent of UTEP.</p>

69

<p>That’s because you are an Eng graduate. There is very little space to brainwash in that department.</p>

<p>Try the liberal arts or business school.</p>

Do you actually have any proof to back this up? “I personally could not stand most Berkeley’s graduates and their sense of entitlement” does not qualify.

And in Alaska a UAA degree means a lot more than it would in Wisconsin. Regions will almost always have a bias towards colleges in that region because they already have more grads employed and are more familiar with the schools.</p>

Hah, Davis is renowned for their veterinary, agricultural/ecology and entomology programs…UTEP is renowned for _________ ?</p>

<p>UTEP:</p>

<p>UC Davis:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The top students at UTEP would have a hard time getting into Davis. And the acceptance rates should speak for themselves.</p>

<p>UTEP is a border school, with a lot of diversity.</p>

<p>I guess A&M would be more the UC-Davis type then. In fact they are both aggies. However, A&M is a huge school with a famous football program and die hard fans. UC-Davis students are pretty apathetic (which screams commuter school).</p>

74

<p>UC-Davis is hardly a commuter school…it’s out in the middle of essentially nowhere. It does have a football team.</p>

<p>A&M has a unique culture I think no school can match.</p>

75

<p>SuperPippo, you say community college like it’s a bad thing. Considering the proportion of kids in UCs from the local area, you could call ALL of them community colleges.</p>

76

<p>So what if a school has a lot of commuters? Smart commuters are, presumably, better than dumb residents.</p>

77

<p>So, A&M is better than Davis because it has a D1-A as opposed to a D1-AA football program?</p>

<p>I’ll agree that the towns of College Station and Davis are similar, they’re both college towns. But Davis is above A&M in everything non-athletic.</p>

<p>UC Davis: 90% of freshmen live on-campus. Not quite a commuter school. [UC</a> Davis General Catalog | Housing](<a href=“http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/UCDWebCatalog/student/housing.html]UC”>http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/UCDWebCatalog/student/housing.html)</p>

<p>Way to substitute wikiality over facts.</p>

</p>

<p>But hey, maybe you can devise your own completely unbiased ranking methodology of googling “<insert school=”" name=“”> commuter school". I’m sure everyone will be rushing to cancel their US News subscriptions.</insert></p>

<p>How did the number of commuters become the standard by which to measure academic quality?</p>
