That's right IMO as well...


Education is what you make of it. One could be the world's greatest engineer with a degree from ODU, not MIT, Tech or GT. Education is largely on the individual.

What most rankings lack are the insight to the resources that any university has to offer. Tech and most large state and land grant universities have tremendous resources available to anyone who wants to attend the school. Therefore, you can really make a lot of your education at a university like Tech as opposed to some small private liberal arts college with limited resources.

Lastly, many rankings don't account for what happens after you graduate. In my line of work, a Hokie can write their own ticket right after graduation. Hoos can too. Most bosses and folks with hiring authority either are biased or have bought into the idea that Tech and UVa alumnae are golden. In many cases, it's warranted.
