    OT: 2026 US News Rankings Are Out

    We found that financial aid at the public colleges down South is VERY generous (much more than Rutgers) and obviously not reflected in the rankings. I'd bet that this is an "unseen" factor into the decision to go to the South. Every public honors college in the south (i.e. UGA honors, Florida...

    OT: 2026 US News Rankings Are Out

    OT: Drew Mehringer at Oregon

    My son goes to Rice. It’s hard to find a school where the student body cares less about football - there are usually a few thousand people in the stands - tops. When we were there for parents weekend last year, tickets on the 50 yard line, first row, were $20 on Stub Hub My son watches...
