Top 5 LACs and Top 5 Universities in each region

<p>Guess what JW Mueller? I still named all the mascots better than you could.</p>

<p>LAC’s with sports-Davidson, Colgate, Holy Cross, Williams, Bucknell.</p>

<p>LOL’ing at this ridiculously arbitrary list. I typically dislike rankings myself, but I just have to throw my 2 cents in here. I’m from Texas, so I’ll only address what I know: The South. I will say that the LAC list for the South looks good.</p>

<ul>
<li>So you didn’t even think to include Duke in the top 5 Universities of the South? wowwww</li>
<li>you put both Emory and UVA above Vanderbilt. HA.
-you put WAKE FOREST over Rice? HA x infinity. </li>
<li>no mention of UT-Austin either? Easily on par or better than WF.</li>
</ul>

<p>EDIT: did you honestly just brag to another poster about how you can “name mascots better.” My image of you as a person just dropped a good fifty notches haha</p>

<p>Your from Texas. Lol</p>

<p>I think you mean “you’re from Texas.” </p>

<p>Hot tip of the day: if you’re going to make geographical stereotypes, at least attempt to properly use the English language. It’s the equivalent of saying “Teehee, yur stoopid.”</p>

<p>Also, it’s typically a good idea to respond logically and with some degree of wit, but I suppose that’s optional. Perhaps I’m expecting a bit much of your feeble mind :)</p>

<p>The feeble mind that is either going to Washu, Northwestern, or Penn. Yes that is me. Or maybe it was a typo dumb crap.</p>

<p><em>sigh</em> </p>

<p>“Dumb crap,” eh? What an intensely intellectual, mature response.</p>

<p>Also, 2 out of the three statements in your above post are fragments. Ironically, the shortest one is the only actual sentence with both a subject and a predicate. Allow me:
I am the feeble mind that is either going to Washu, Northwestern, or Penn. Yes that is me**, or** maybe it was a typo**,** dumb crap.”</p>

<p>Also, as much as I hate citing the U.S. News and World Report, at least it’s based on quantitative data and not ridiculous, unfounded assertions. </p>

<p>Duke University: 8th nationally
Rice University: 17th
Vanderbilt University: 19th
Wake Forest University: 28th</p>

<p>P.S. First of all, I seriously doubt you’ll get into any of those schools, with your serious lack of analytical skills. Second of all, even if you did, I would still strongly defend my claim that you have a feeble mind.</p>

<p>Can you read? In my first post I said these rankings were based on opinion. It was just for fun and then people like you decide to give me crap for it.</p>

<p>Right, but your opinion just happens to be wrong.</p>

<p>I can say that the sky is green, and yes, that would be my “opinion.” It would also be completely false haha.</p>

<p>Not true. Color blind people may see the sky a different color.</p>

<p>That statement would be still be wrong.
Saying “the sky looks green to me” is technically correct.</p>

<p>Saying “the sky is green” is incorrect. The color of the sky is caused by a very specific refraction of the sun’s rays through oxygen, nitrogen, etc. It may “look” green to you, but it’s still blue.</p>

<p>Also, if someone was theoretically colorblind, they wouldn’t be able to distinguish blue from green at all, would they ;)</p>

<p>It doesn’t matter, in their opinion it is green.</p>

<p>Once again, opinion is practically irrelevant in a cut-and-dry issue. Sure, an opinion is more valid in the hazy arena of politics or ethics, but in science or quantitative college rankings? Not so much.</p>

<p>Fine. In my opinion, there’s still a T-Rex hiding in a cave in Africa. He survived the Ice Age and is now immortal.</p>

<p>Also, in my opinion, everything isn’t made of atoms. Instead, matter consists of infinitely tiny elves.</p>

<p>Furthermore, in my opinion, I can telepathically cause you to stop responding.</p>

<p>College rankings is not necessarily only in the quantitative arena. Supposedly choosing a college is on personal fit, and I was ranking these colleges on where I would go therefore opinion would matter.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Technically, you cannot disprove this ;)</p>

<p>Drop WASHU below UC and Northwestern, Illinois is certainly better than Wisconsin.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>How do you know atoms aren’t in fact elves?</p>
