SCHOOLS HIGH AND LOW

摘要

Forbes' annual ranking of the nation's top colleges was full of surprises this year. Stanford University took the laurels as the best school of all, followed by dark-horse fellow Californian Pomona College. Looking at the results, MSNBC's Alex Witt asked, "Pomona at No. 2? How did that happen?" Our Michael Noer answered, "We measure educational outcomes... and liberal arts colleges, particularly regional powerhouses like Pomona, tend to do very well." E! Online's take: "Now you can lord your ranking over your friends, assuming their college was ranked lower! Fun!" A low ranking rankled some.
