I am not a fan of college rankings, mainly because choosing a college should be about which college fits you best, and that criteria is often difficult to measure. However, because the US News Best Colleges yearly rankings of colleges and universities came out last week, I thought I'd post some rationale (from US News) and debate. Bottom line: rankings are not going away, but as always, you should be a careful consumer and not pick a school simply based on where it is ranked on any list.

And since I'm on the subject of rankings, here is one from the Princeton Review that lists the top schools for financial aid.
