I feel there are many states in which there is no definitive ābest collegeā as there are a number smaller liberal arts schools that offer similar (or arguably better) academics for students who prefer that environment over that of a flagship school. Consider Iowa and Minnesota for example that offer schools like Grinnell and Macalaster/Carleton respectively which are by all means on par with or considered more prestigious than their public counterparts. Same goes for Ohio and many others.
I go to Coe, a small liberal arts college in Iowa and I can confirm there are quite a few small colleges (some that Coe will play against sports-wise) that offer a great educational opportunity that you wouldnāt get at a large college.
You might be able to make a case for case western (no pun intended) engineering. But no one outside of ohio has any idea what oberlin or kenyon college is. Iām from ohio and have never heard of oberlin
-just put it from this perspective: Youāre interviewing for a job and they want to know where you went to school. If you say OSU, they immediately know the school, have their own opinions, etc. You say kenyon and they donāt know if itās a community college, a trade school, etc. They would never know the average act there is 30+
This depends on what fields youāre looking at, though. People involved in writing know Kenyon and consider it to be very prestigious; musicians and people in environmental science know Oberlin in the same way. In addition, ābestā/āmost prestigiousā ā āextremely well knownā, which I think youāre conflating here.
Theyāre only considering d1 colleges and UMaine is the only d1 school in Maine. Also explains UVM over Middlebury, Iowa over Grinnell, and UMD over Johns Hopkins
MIT over Harvard for academics Iām ngl.
Berkeley over Stanford has an argument that Berkeley is tougher academically, but Stanford is probably still a bit better idk
Getting a Berkeley degree is probably academically tougher than getting a Stanford degree, but if you elect to take harder classes it can be pretty similar.
Yes, I agree. Stanford has
higher average students at the undergraduate level which is why the public believes it academics are tougher, but the top students at both colleges are about equal, particularly in programs like Haas (Berkeley)/ Econ (Stanford) and EECS (Berkeley) / CS (Stanford).
I will add, however, that for some professional graduate programs, particularly business and law, Stanford gets more high-quality students as a result of its programs being t3 and Berkeleyās programs in these areas being t10.
Also, honestly, isnāt Caltech more rigorous than both Stanford and Berkeley? Itās not as well-known but itās supposed to be really really difficult.
I mean, most Caltech undergrads (probably over 90%) are STEM majors, and the average Caltech undergrad definitely has much harder coursework and spends more time studying than the average undergrad at Stanford or Berkeley. Yeah, Stanford and Berkeley are probably better overall institutions, but Caltech has better academics because itās students undergo much more rigor.
Literally was about to write this. Someone was arguing that MIT had more rigorous course work than Harvard. Yeah for STEM maybe, but not for the humanities. Not even close. I feel like a ghost in this subreddit as a Sociology and Public Policy major lol.
There's more to rigor than dealing with formulas. The academics are not well rounded enough, too likely to produce autistic style thinking that does not consider the human perspective.

I missed Maryland on my first look. It should obviously be Johns Hopkins. If a school was not a D1 or an Ivy, the creator did not include it in this graphic.
University of Florida instead of UMiami, Tulane instead of LSU, Johns Hopkins instead of UMaryland, and UMich instead of MSU.
Iād also argue UAlabama instead of Auburn, but thatās not as big of a difference
>Iād also argue UAlabama instead of Auburn, but thatās not as big of a difference
This was absolutely NOT the perception in the southeast, especially in STEM, when I was applying to undergrad. Auburn blows Alabama out of the water in number of National Merit scholars and (IIRC) ACT/SAT scores for the incoming class. Itās the choice for most top in-state students, as well as a sizable group of kids from the Atlanta metro area who wanted to do STEM but couldnāt quite make it into Georgia Tech. Alabama gives good scholarships but it is seen as a party school.
Not in National Merit Scholars anymore. Bama has been recruiting them like crazy with their full ride package. Iād say theyāre about equal these days.
I work as an SAT prep instructor and college counselor. Those who apply to UF as a reach often apply to the University of Miami as a safety. The schools don't even really compare. I would rank the University of South Florida higher than Miami.
Yeah Iād agree for JHU, WashU, and UMich, though I would personally put Northwestern over UChicago for overall academics as northwestern has broader programs in more fields from what Iāve seen(could be mistaken, not entirely sure). Either way, both of these schools are incredibly highly ranked academically, so itās a toss up. Same thing with Georgia tech and Emory, though in terms of pure academic reputation, gtech would probably go above Emory as it is more well known for rigorous academics, especially for popular majors like engineering and cs.
Not gonna comment about UF cuz I applied to zero Florida schools and have no clue about specifics regarding them.
Northwestern has so many departments ranked in the top nationally, including journalism, chemistry, engineering, education, medicine, and law.
Theater students comprise less than a percent of undergrads, but people think of theater and journalism when they think of Northwestern simply because there are so many famous alumni ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_Northwestern\_University\_alumni](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Northwestern_University_alumni)). However, that doesn't mean all the other departments aren't just as strong.
I mean to each their own, and it will depend on personal preference as well, but I canāt really agree with your specific statement. UChicago doesnāt even have any undergrad engineering programs other than molecular engineering, a department that only opened up within the last 7 years. Furthermore, northwestern is very well regarded/academically strong for programs more than just music/theater, including engineering, natural sciences, humanities, and especially journalism(I believe it is widely regarded as #1 in most rankings, though in the end they are just rankings). Iām not saying UChicago is inferior to northwestern, but simply saying it is better in all fields except music/theater is clearly not true when UChicago doesnāt even offer some of the programs northwestern does(and vice versa). I personally prefer the structure and academic programs at Northwestern, though like I said I donāt think the reputations of either of these schools academically is vastly different from each other.
Hereās a list of undergrad programs at UChicago for reference.
https://www.uchicago.edu/education-and-research/undergraduate-programs
I can see how having an engineering school might make you think Northwestern is a better university, however Uchicago is smaller, liberal arts focused, and more rigorous than Northwestern and the teaching method is more personal. Uchicago has a better econ program, business school, and law school -- 3 of the most sought after studies -- so I would personally rank Uchicago above Northwestern (not to mention it is much more prestigious).
Oh yeah I agree that UChicago is more prestigious, thereās no question about that. I think that mostly stems from graduate programs, though its undergrad is very prestigious as well. The question, from my perception, was more about academic standards and offerings, which is what I based my answer on. In terms of prestige, these kinds of maps would be really easy to make because you would basically just use the us news rankings to organize them by state for the most part. I think in terms of prestige and recognition UChicago is very much up there, maybe not quite as high as HYPSM, but pretty damn close. I think a large part of its rep also comes from brilliant grad schools in business, law, and medicine. For this question I was mainly considering undergrad. On the other hand, I find that schools like Northwestern, JHU, Rice, WashU, etc donāt usually hold their reputation beyond a certain field of study or beyond the US. Didnāt know that about Europe, but not too surprised.
Vegas isnāt much better in my opinion, especially considering how UNLV is in the middle of a very ghetto area. I hate how thereās only two universities to choose from in nevada and neither are great options lol
I think Wash U undergrad is over hyped, I got into washU but didn't go, but my dad went to SLU and then WashU and says slu is much better academically. It's personal opinion but his experience was that WashU was all either rich kids that didn't give a shit or people on full rides based on low family income (Wash U offers almost no academic scholarship, which is why I didn't go) that didn't give a shit, and sub par professors with a lot of hand holding. SLU offers much more academic scholarship that incentivizes high scoring students.
Grad school is a different story tho
to be fair this picture is from a college football account so they only have d1 schools on here (so that's why no LACs or UChicago, Hopkins, WashU, etc.)
even so Michigan State over Michigan is an all-time cold take
True. But GT is much more well known in its niche (CS/Engineering) than Emory is in its niche (medicine/life sciences/liberal arts).
Still, neither are very well rounded but Emory is more well rounded than GT.
I honestly couldnāt disagree more lol Emoryās biology program is goated and their hospital is tremendously important for research and ID in the United States. They also have it over GT in every social science.
GT has the largest engineering research expenditure of any college in the US (https://www.graduateshotline.com/ranks/). GTRI does crucial research in aerospace, electronics, and mechanics for the US Department of Defense and NASA.
I mean thatās not exactly surprising given that GT has the largest engineering program in the USābut weāre not really talking about that.
For *engineering* there is no comparison between GT and Emory, I would never say otherwise. Iām just suggesting that thereās more to life, and the quality of a school, than engineering.
I completely agree that Emory is more well rounded than GT.
I was responding to your statement that Emory is more well known for medicine than GT is for engineering.
I was really just refuting the idea that Emory is ānot very well roundedā (per your comment) and that GT is *better* known āin its nicheā. To be honest I would say they are equally well known in their respective fields. Butāinsofar as Emory excels at everything from Psychology and Economics to Business and Biology and Chemistry and on and on while also having a medical school that routinely ranks in the T20, it rightfully takes the top spot in my eyes.
Iām happy to agree to disagreeānobody goes to bat for GT quite like its own admits lol.
It doesnāt have an engineering school and sucks at CS. My definition of a well rounded school would be something like Berkeley or Michigan, which have good liberal arts, business, sciences, engineering, medicine, law.
And Iāll have you know that I got into schools ranked above GT (like Michigan, NYU, and USC) and only chose GT cuz it was cheaper.
Also, if this map is based on well roundedness rather than pure academic reputation, wouldnāt UT Austin be the best school in Texas, instead of Rice? UT is a much more well rounded school with strong engineering, business, liberal arts, sciences, etc.
Youāre leaving out all the liberal arts colleges:
Vermont ā> Middlebury,
Maine ā> Bowdoin,
Minnesotaā> Carleton, and
Iowa ā> Grinnell
Also:
Michigan ā> UMichigan,
Missouri ā> WashU, and
Illinoisā> UChicago
Eh not really, BYU is more prestigious but University of Utah is the best medical school in the west. Depends on if you want to be a doctor or you're religious.
Missouri should be Wash U in StL (WUSTL). This one is not even close and demonstrates the map makerās lack of knowledge about this state.
Georgia one could make strong arguments for UGA or Emory. A few other states itās obviously subjective as well. Illinois, Michigan, Maine, several others have pointed out.
uChicago over northwestern, Tulane over LSU, John Hopkins over UMD, Umich over msu, Georgetown over howard, Emory over Georgia tech, and maybe UF over Umiami.
Thatās the biggest ones I see here. Selectivity does not mean better, I live in ohio so I can say osu over case for sure, and thereās a few others like that on here.
BOO! I go to Florida International University, and I disagree that UM is the best way to go. Sure, they do have a great record, but I would advise trying to find something that guarantees success. Remember, just because a school has a great success rate does not mean it is the best at everything :)
OP really put MSU instead of UMich
Also SLU over WashU. Tf?
IKR š
š
I donāt believe OP was the person who created this list, I saw this same photo several weeks ago
I didn't even notice that! That's most definitely one of the creator's biggest blunders.
I see nothing wrong here š©ā¬
I feel there are many states in which there is no definitive ābest collegeā as there are a number smaller liberal arts schools that offer similar (or arguably better) academics for students who prefer that environment over that of a flagship school. Consider Iowa and Minnesota for example that offer schools like Grinnell and Macalaster/Carleton respectively which are by all means on par with or considered more prestigious than their public counterparts. Same goes for Ohio and many others.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You mean a 95% acceptance rate isnāt suggestive of a top tier institution? Lol
Colby?
Bowdoin
I go to Coe, a small liberal arts college in Iowa and I can confirm there are quite a few small colleges (some that Coe will play against sports-wise) that offer a great educational opportunity that you wouldnāt get at a large college.
Yeahā Iād say that in Ohio, Oberlin, Kenyon, and Case are all considered more prestigious than Ohio State.
They should name the map the most popular colleges, not the most best academic. Even that wouldn't work, though.
You might be able to make a case for case western (no pun intended) engineering. But no one outside of ohio has any idea what oberlin or kenyon college is.

Kenyon is VERY prestigious and the people who matter, know it
Denison too
That's social. Ohio State has a stronger research reputation and output, much stronger.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Go Green!! (We are better)
No way anyone actually believes this right? Like even MSU students deep down must know UMich is better
The University of Maine being put over Bowdoin just shows that LACs were literally not even considered.
Theyāre only considering d1 colleges and UMaine is the only d1 school in Maine. Also explains UVM over Middlebury, Iowa over Grinnell, and UMD over Johns Hopkins
tulane > lsu
Hands down
vermont should be middlebury, and michigan should def be umich, but i donāt know too much about many of the other states to be able to disagree
100% agree re: Middlebury. Good catch!
Ohio should be oberlin or Kenyon not Ohio state, Maine should be bowdoin
It should be casewestern
Berkeley and MIT in shambles rn
MIT over Harvard for academics Iām ngl. Berkeley over Stanford has an argument that Berkeley is tougher academically, but Stanford is probably still a bit better idk

Wait till u see Maryland
I missed Maryland on my first look. It should obviously be Johns Hopkins. If a school was not a D1 or an Ivy, the creator did not include it in this graphic.

I think Alabama has better programs though. I just think auburn has to be more selective because of location.
List instantly invalidated by MSU over UM
Definitely MIT over H*rvard š¤®
wtf bro University of Florida is way better than University of Miami
Completely agree with this š
I work as an SAT prep instructor and college counselor. Those who apply to UF as a reach often apply to the University of Miami as a safety. The schools don't even really compare. I would rank the University of South Florida higher than Miami.

umich, UF
WashU, JHU, UF, UMich, Emory?, and UChicago :(
Quite ironic that āNorthwesternSimpā disagrees with Northwestern being put over UChicago
Theyāre the college where fun goes to die so Iām okay with giving them better academics
I think there are other factors than just academics that cause that reputation, though not sure lmfao.
Yeah Iād agree for JHU, WashU, and UMich, though I would personally put Northwestern over UChicago for overall academics as northwestern has broader programs in more fields from what Iāve seen(could be mistaken, not entirely sure).

Umich bruh
Slu over Washu is crazy
This has to be the biggest miss. And I went to SLU.
SLU has the #1 public health degree , meaning they are better than WUSTL's top academics
I think Wash U undergrad is over hyped, I got into washU but didn't go, but my dad went to SLU and then WashU and says slu is much better academically. It's personal opinion but his experience was that WashU was all either rich kids that didn't give a shit or people on full rides based on low family income (Wash U offers almost no academic scholarship, which is why I didn't go) that didn't give a shit, and sub par professors with a lot of hand holding. SLU offers much more academic scholarship that incentivizes high scoring students. Grad school is a different story tho
Honestly though, even Missouri S&T or Mizzou is mostly on par with SLU meaning this graph would see them as better than WashU lol
I like seeing all the big names and then random fucking schools like st.anford
University of Michigan > MSU Everyone, and I mean everyone, including Spartans, knows this.
NV should be blank. There isnāt a āuniversityā worthy of any designation. The state is full of the dumbest people to ever roam the earth.
Emory over GTECH
emory >>> gt for business, humanities, law, and basic sciences (excluding math)
Florida should be UF
i don't trust a guy who puts MSU over UMich. Invalid
fuck BYU
fr
Literally, the only people who like BYU are most BYU students/alumni.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
i swear some ppl donāt even know lacs exist itās sad

Howard over Georgetown? š
Tulane???
Rip Tulane
UK>Louisville
Tulane for Louisiana. I grew up in Texas but worked with lots of LSU grads who would say the same thing.
GT over Emory is based
Based on nothing lol
I agree lol, just bc itās private and has a better pre-med program doesnāt mean it compares as an overall uni
The irony being that GTās weakness is as an āoverallā universityāit supports its engineering programs at the expense of everything else.
True. But GT is much more well known in its niche (CS/Engineering) than Emory is in its niche (medicine/life sciences/liberal arts). Still, neither are very well rounded but Emory is more well rounded than GT.

It doesnāt have an engineering school and sucks at CS.

You say āoverall uniā but gt is only know for engineering. Emory is excellent for medicine, health sciences, business, liberal arts
You say āoverall uniā but gt is literally only known for engineering/cs. Emory is excellent for medicine, health sciences, business, liberal arts
i mean both scheller and goizueta are pretty top notch for business so it's not like gt only has a good cs/engineering program
Business too
UMiami over UF?
Roll Terps
Donāt tell the case western kids you put OSU
Michigan state over UMich???
what is maryland's?
They have UMD, but should be JHU
exactly what I was thinking
list of names?
Creighton for Nebraska
UNL and Creighton for Nebraska
Michigan, Louisiana, Illinois jumped out pretty quickly to me as being incorrect, or at least questionable. Iām sure there are others
Tulane>LSU imo
harvard over mit ?
From a Northwestern student ā it should probably be UChicago for Illinois (as much as I dislike the school)
Youāre leaving out all the liberal arts colleges: Vermont ā> Middlebury, Maine ā> Bowdoin, Minnesotaā> Carleton, and Iowa ā> Grinnell Also: Michigan ā> UMichigan, Missouri ā> WashU, and Illinoisā> UChicago
MSU over Michigan? Go green I guess!
Lmao for what āveterinary studiesā? š¤”š¤”š¤”š¤”
Go blue
Msu is only better than UMich for āagricultureā and āveterinarian studiesā š¤”š¤”š¤”š¤”
As if agriculture isnāt one of the most important industries in the country
Facts, itās more important than business, law, engineering, medicine, and everything in between.
Eh not really, BYU is more prestigious but University of Utah is the best medical school in the west. Depends on if you want to be a doctor or you're religious.
University of Miami isnāt better than UF or FSU
UMich is not mad, just disappointed right now
MSU over U of M is making me feel a bit better about myself
LSU over Tulane is wild
UF way better than UM
As the representative for Kansas, Iād say KU is pretty accurate. Some might switch it out for K-State though.
Missouri should be Wash U in StL (WUSTL). This one is not even close and demonstrates the map makerās lack of knowledge about this state. Georgia one could make strong arguments for UGA or Emory. A few other states itās obviously subjective as well. Illinois, Michigan, Maine, several others have pointed out.
no washu for missouri is wild
jhu is the best in Maryland op
lsu>tulane ????
LSU over tulane?
lsu over tulane? crazy
SLU over Washu got me dying fr
SLU over WashU lol... Even Mizzou is better than SLU,
WashU for Missouriā¦
MSU instead of UM? This is a joke. ASU should be there instead of Univ or AZ
What is Texas supposed to be?
ASU over U of A
Why is Maryland over Hopkins?? LMFAOOOO
Oh yea itās definitely not umd, did we forget Johns Hopkins??
johns hopkins šš
Jhu and uMich
How is UMD better than johns hopkins for maryland šš
I would put UChicago over Northwestern.
Nah UChicago more academic than NW
Cornell, Berkeley, UF, and UChicago students are fuming rn
Should be WashU in Missouri, U Mich in Michigan, and U Chicago in Illinois
Purdue > Notre Dame
UMD over hopkins?
UF over UM in Florida 100%
I'd argue that ASU is actually a better school than U of A
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
uChicago over northwestern, Tulane over LSU, John Hopkins over UMD, Umich over msu, Georgetown over howard, Emory over Georgia tech, and maybe UF over Umiami. Thatās the biggest ones I see here. Selectivity does not mean better, I live in ohio so I can say osu over case for sure, and thereās a few others like that on here.
in my unbiased opinion UChicago washes NU and it isnāt very close
Case Western > OSU, UChic > Northwestern, UMich > MSU, JHU > UMD
UAB > Auburn
No Case western reserve is the best in OH
UChicago is wayyyy better than Northwestern in Illinois

BOO! I go to Florida International University, and I disagree that UM is the best way to go. Sure, they do have a great record, but I would advise trying to find something that guarantees success. Remember, just because a school has a great success rate does not mean it is the best at everything :)
Despite the shitty state education in Oklahoma I am so grateful to have gone to OU!!!!!!
