Nerd News: Forbes Ranks Top US Universities; West Point #1

According to Forbes, West Point is the country's top college. (The school's website is here.)

The rest of the top 10 are:

#2 Princeton
#3 Cal Tech
#4 Williams
#5 Harvard
#6 Wellesley
#7 US Air Force Academy
#8 Amherst
#9 Yale
#10 Stanford

Here is the complete list. Here is a related article on how West Point beat the Ivy League. I'm amused to remember that not too long somebody wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post saying that the government should shut down the service academies.

Of course, use the usual caveat: all rankings systems are subjective in one way or another, etc., but the results are always interesting!
