Fabulous. But, HC is ranked behind BC in Best Catholic Colleges just like we were ranked behind BC in the recently released Forbes top 50 colleges and universities in America. (BC snuck in at #50, HC was excluded.) Oh well, with climate change the Eagles will be paddling to class in a few decades and HC will still be high and dry.

Why does best "College's" have an apostrophe? That's a typo. Probably should correct on a public-facing item...

Do you think they would make less mistakes if they had someone from our Athletic Department helping them? [fingernails on the chalkboard, right guys?]  |

[fingernails on the chalkboard, right guys?] I usually wait until Festivus to air grievances, but has anyone noticed over the years that the earnest young staffers in the S.I.D. Dept. Sometimes phrase things in basketball game reports that sound just a little bit off to an old geezer who had been reading the sports section since he was a little dribbler? |

Operative word being 'niche' "Niche" is the name of the website, right? It's not like this site gives regular awards and then drops down to niche awards, right? |

This site claims to blend all of the various rankings and rank the top 500 colleges and universities (no distinction between large and small institutions) We're #52 but check out some of the prominent schools in the 100's and even in the 200's - just goes to show you that this ranking game is clearly flawed and too many people (i.e. parents!) rely on them www.collegeconsensus.com/rankings/best-colleges/ |

Well, there were some real surprises there for me Augustana #36, Providence College # 38, Loyola-Maryland #39 --would not have guessed them that high. Then again, when we see boston college at #113 we can start to believe in the methodology. Some will be surprised to see Villanova at #155. Biggest surprise, though, is Cottey College at #44 as I simply have never heard of the school.

That is pretty nichey. The ultra-niche Webb Institute (naval architecture only) and its 100 student body size has gotta be in the top 10 - I'm just too lazy to look. . |

No-- I was referring not to "niche" but to the new service purplehaze introduced in the previous posting: "Collegeconsensus" |
