In addition to numerous other problems with the rankings, it (minorly) irks me how the division between national universities and liberal arts schools makes people completely ignore liberal arts colleges. I live in Massachusetts and even here, it's amazing how many people don't realize how damn good some of the schools out in Western Mass are. I'm biased, because my father and all of my siblings went to WIlliams, but I honestly feel like many people are better served by liberal arts schools.
