UChicago holds third place with Yale in 2018 USNWR ranking

Worrying about “driving people away” due to a CC thread is about as relevant as worrying about each and every ranking.

@marlowe1 Thanks on behalf of a grateful readership.

@DeepBlue86 stop using the Hungarian variant of Nudnick. Don’t be such a shlumiyel.

@Chrchill - Based on the spelling of what I’m guessing is the “@Chrchill variant” of “schlemiel”, I doubt Yiddish is one of your four languages, although I’m sure German helps. Don’t hock me a chainik - I need it like a loch in kop :)>- Maybe I’d better leave you to get on with identifying and parsing college rankings.

@DeepBlue86 stop kwetsching, telling college Bobbe maises and your usual narishkaiten

Chag sameach @DeepBlue86

Thank you, sir - Ich wünsche dir gute Nacht.

Vielen Dank. Gleichfalls und Layla tov

Fogel unfortunately has passed away. A superb economic historian (my d loves both fields and I harbor a secret desire that she will do economic history!).

Here is the complete list (scroll down for Economics).
