This was featured at U.S. News and World Report. All kinds of people, especially parents, look out for the U.S. News and World Report college rankings, as a favorable number in U.S. News and World Report rankings means more prestige for colleges, and therefore, more students and more money. (That's the bottom line – and many claim it's a padded list. Critics claim that the rankings are bogus and that Harvard, Yale, and Princeton get the top spots just on the virtue of reputation, rather than actual merits. Regardless, parents still want their kids in a high ranked U.S. News and World Report school – in the hopes that a degree from those schools will mean their child could potentially never need a payday loan – or maybe even auto financing.
