re: The Best *Public* Schools in the U.S.

No LSU?

#1 -- UCLA

I love how #1 had one of the biggest Hamas rallies in the country. Sounds like some quality graduates are gonna come out of that place.

#75 -- MISSISSIPPI STATE University

Best bang for your buck

These rankings always crack me up, unless you're in a niche program/major, a business degree pulls the same weight at all these schools.

In addition to its sitting pretty at the top spot for Best Public Colleges in America, UCLA comes in at #1 for Best College Campuses in America and Best College Food. With just over 31,000 students and a low acceptance rate, getting into UCLA is an accomplishment in itself. The school offers more than 125 majors to choose from, with economics and political science as two of the most popular. Campus life includes proximity to all the Los Angeles lifestyle has to offer, as well as plenty of student organizations, clubs, and sports.

So UCLA is rated #1 because it was #1 in a different poll and they have the best college food?

quote:

#19. Texas A&M University

- Location: College Station, TX
- Students: 49,442

---

Not really sure where they are getting their information but A&M is over 70,000 students. We have not been under 50,000 for over a decade.

Title of the article but they do not tell you what the "data" is.

Hopefully a lot of these lists, at least the ones backed up with real data, will be reshuffled when all the DEI BS, equity grade inflation, and willingness to tolerate terrorists and virulent anti Semitism are taken into consideration.

Some of those
