    Default Forbes Top 50 Universities, 2021

    Moral of the story: Socialist public universities are the best bang for the buck.

    "Public universities deliver the most outstanding education to the broadest range of students at the most affordable price. That’s the message of Forbes’ 2021 ranking of top colleges."

    https://www3.forbes.com/leadership/a...-wnb/?slide=21
    The Top Ten:

    Northwestern University
    University of Pennsylvania
    University of California Los Angeles
    Harvard
    MIT
    Colombia
    Princeton
    Yale
    University of California Berkeley

    I would argue that free or subsidized universal socialist public education is arguably liberalism's greatest contribution to the human condition.

    Every institution of higher education I ever attended or taught at was a socialist public college or university, though sadly none cracked Forbes' top ten.

    America has an outstanding university system. It really is one of our strongest points... And of course Republicans want to destroy it.

    I have been registered here since 2006, and numerous rightwing posters, perhaps even a plurality, routinely downplayed, dismissed, or mocked higher education.

    They are proud of being anti-higher education.

    trump is still bitter that he could not get into law school. If he had graduated at the "top of his class" as he claimed, he would have had no problem getting into law school.

    It seems likely he cheated on his SAT's and got someone else to take it.

    Since this all just a mindless partisan pissing match its interesting the Democrats used to be the party of the working guy/common man and now you almost despise anyone who is not college educated. And you think people like Trump and his kids are better than everyone else because they are Ivy League educated. The times they are a changin...
