<p>Rice/Davidson/William & Mary/Wake Forest/Carleton are all underrated. I would pick them as an undergrad over several large state U's mentioned in CC as "prestigious". These reps are based on what was 30-40 yrs ago and less on what is today.</p>
<p>Rutgers New Brunswick in my opinion...only because it's I believe it is a kick-arse state school in terms of academics and costs. The Rutgers experience is unlike any other.</p>
<p>Arizona State </p>
<p>the shear number of students admitted had gained the university a very poor academic reputation</p>
<p>groundbreaking research is being conducted by some of the brightest scholars in the world everyday at ASU </p>
<p>Also texas christian university, michigan state and miami of ohio are underrated and unappreciated</p>
<p>Why pull up a five year old thread?</p>
<p>Why not? 10char</p>
