I haven't the faintest clue what the image they have of a "good college city" looks like. Columbus, Ohio isn't on the list for 1-2.5M metro areas? And Hartford is? What in God's name are they trying to measure, can anyone tell?
That's true, especially of Philly (I think of Philly having more universities than Chicago, but I don't know if that is true)... But a lot of the recognition advantages these schools on the East Coast have are purely name recognition because they are very old schools. For example, Penn is instantly recognized as an upper tier school but UCSD may not be, simply because it is a newer school. I'm not totally sure but I would estimate they are fairly similar in quality level.
Ehh, UCSD is a good school, but not only the level of places like Penn or U Chicago. I have to join the other people that are a bit mystified by the San Diego's ranking above Philadelphia, especially given that Chicago wasn't listed in the top 10 either.
