Princeton University tops the US News & World Report list of American Colleges and Universities.

On the one hand, while I'm not a PU alumna, I've greatly enjoyed all the classes that I've audited at PU: The professors are enthusiastically pleased to be teaching undergraduates, they are throughly knowledgeable in their fields, and I greatly admire their scholarship and human qualities.
On the other hand, with an endowment of nearly $12 billion and undergrad tuition and fees nearing $50,000/yr, it's a good thing PU is ranking at the top - for that kind of money, it should. Several colleges are painfully aware of that, and are trying to look into a different ranking system.

Another issue is that getting into PU is next-to-impossible. No matter how good a student you are, the odds are only 1 in 12, at best maybe 1 in 10. But that will be a post for another day.
