UCR #22 !?!

Washington Monthly, not a place I go for just about anything, has their anti-US News college rankings, ranking.

They love them some UCs, that's for sure.

Of the ten schools in the system, eight were ranked, ranks overall by Washington Monthly and then by US News

UC Berkeley #1 #20
UC Los Angeles #4 #25
UC San Diego #6 #32
UC Davis #10 #48
UC Riverside #22 #85
UC Santa Barbara #57 #45
UC Santa Cruz #68 #68
UC Irvine #72 #40


UC Merced just opened, and UC San Francisco doesn't have undergraduates, so they weren't ranked.

Folks at UC Irvine aren't going to like being 50 slots behind UC Riverside, at all.

The UC system despite many problems, is without a doubt (at least in my mind) the premier public university system in the world.

And for those Badger fans out there, University of Wisconsin - Madison finds themselves ranked #11 by Washington Monthly compared to #34 by US News.

(Prof. Althouse might have something to say about that, or not)

I love the big public universities. They have something for everyone! Still, I'm glad I didn't do my first two years at one. A class with 800 students in one room is somewhat unreasonable.
