Why grad school/department rankings matter to undergrads when choosing a school

<p>

To the extent your university utilizes graduate students as Teaching Assistants, to lead discussion sections and grade papers, it may be potentially helpful to you if your TA is not an idiot. Which may be more likely if that graduate department is highly ranked.

Or why not find a university that doesn’t use TAs very often so you can be taught by the professors themselves?</p>
