    While these rankings are always fun, they mean little if anything about individual schools. Lots of the highest ranked schools are far more graduate-focused than many people would believe and you don't get the same level of instruction from actual professors than you might get at other institutions. But, whatever. RICE OWLS b****!

    They include a lot of things that I don't think relate to the quality of the school.

    You're right...its a running joke with some UPenn grads. I.e. - when I say where I graduated from, I'm likely to get a comment about Joe Paterno...unless you are familiar with Matt Maloney, Michael Jordan (he was one of the better ball players on the team a few years), or more recently...Koko Archibong.
