WSJ / THE List of the Top 100 US Colleges by Spending on Instruction & Student Services

@eyemgh: While that is clearly on your mind, I believe that most posters understand that schools need to be a fit–especially Caltech, Harvey Mudd, MIT, service academies & any school with a narrow focus.

There are colleges & universities with a wide focus academically as well as with respect to campus culture. Some examples are Northwestern, Penn, Cornell.

Seems like a school like Arizona State University would have a wider focus academically and socially than Cornell, Northwestern, or Penn.
