Top University Rankings for 2004 Released

jemecki writes "US News and World Report has posted their annual rankings for the top colleges and universities in America. Of particular interest to Slashdotters are the top Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering universities and the top overall engineering schools. For those that don't want to RTFA, Harvard and Princeton are the best in the country, and MIT, Stanford and Berkeley are the best in Engineering."

Re:"Premium login"??

[brakk]

Obviously you didn't go to one of those schools if you can't figure it out.

Best in Engineering?

[ackthpt]

B-b-but what happened to Acme University?

I'm sorry, but I've watched far too many RoadRunner cartoons to believe a Coyote could have done better anywhere else.

Top Party School - all we care about.

[EvilStein]

University of Colorado, isn't it?

Sadly, Chico State isn't on the list anymore. =/

Which college has the most bandwidth? The best female to male ratio?

My school went way down

[Epistax]

I go to RIT. I wonder why it went down.
I'd sing my school song, but we don't have one that anyone knows about.
I'd root for my football team, but we don't have one.
I'd enjoy the social life, but there is none.
I'd take a walk to the town, but there is no town in walking distance.
I'd join student government, but they're powerless.
I'd buy a soda, but they cost $1.25.

Re:Suggestions welcome, really, please

If you apply to Stanford, you can room with Milo and Teddy. Later, you can get recruited by a big software company in the Pacific Northwest called NURV only to discover that they're killing programmers for their code

If you apply to Carnegie-Mellon, you can become a Wonder Boy(TM) and party with Katie Holmes [katie-holmes.com] and that Greed is Good guy.

Avoid Harvard on general principal.

Apply to Berkeley only if you like being called a weenie.

CWRU is ok but they now want to be called "Case" and you can't trust a school like that.

I knew this kid at Stanford who was rejected by every school but Stanford. So apply here if you're a gamblin' man.

Re:Come to Canada instead

[Frank of Earth]

That's a great idea. Too bad all those schools are in Canada though.

Obviously slanted

[revividus]

These ratings are obviously slanted. Everybody knows the best Computer Science education can only be found by reading usenet, /., and generally browsing the entire internet, until finding the secret `hidden' page [revividus.com] which announces that you have become a Wizard, the next degree after Ph.D.

[Sax Maniac]

cities like Boston, where the most affordable housing could be above 100K

Could be?! 100K in the Boston area will buy you the housing equivalent of dumpster, except nobody comes to haul it away.
