I don't trust college reviews, I think they are full of ******. If you really wanna know how a college is, ask the student who go their first hand. They will keep it real.

The rankings get colleges in the general area of where they should be. No one is going to argue that the University of Oklahoma is better that Harvard, but it's probably the case that Carnegie Mellon and Berkeley are interchangeable. The major specific rankings are a bigger deal anyway, because academically, the rest of what a college has to offer (outside of one's major) doesn't really affect that student very much.
