Princeton Ranked #1

Anyone surprised Princeton held the number one spot in the college rankings this year? We shouldn't be. They make a concerted effort to hit high on the college rankings list. They are, after all, one of the ivy-est of the "Ivy League" schools. But I wouldn't put Princeton at the top of my application list. I wouldn't fit in there. I'm much too liberal for their very conservative campus.

And that, my friends, is the point of today's blog. Don't choose your college based on its ranking. Choose your college based on its fit. If you elect to enroll in a number 1 school and don't fit in, it's just not going to work out for you. It's very likely that you'd transfer to another school at the end of year one. Is it worth it? Eh... I'd rather start out at a school that "fit" and stay there.

My two cents on the subject.

Until next time!
