<p>What do you all think of the reviews/rankings at StudentsReview? The ratings and reviews tend to polarize and you get the students who loved X school the most or hated X school the most. If you take everything with a grain of salt, then I've found you can get some decent information from it.</p>
<p>I have a Fiske guide from 2001 or 2002, I believe, and while it didn't rank colleges with numbers (X school is 1, Y school is 2, etc) it gave 1-5 stars to each school in three categories: academics, social life, and quality of life. Quality of life and social life are more subjective I think--a school that has lots of frat parties might be given a 4 social rating, while a quieter school might be given a 2, but to me, the 2 school might be more appealing. The academic ratings are a little more objective, it seems. If someone wants to know the ratings for a particular school, I'd be willing to look it up and tell them.</p>
