The University of California at San Diego was the nation’s No. 1 university, and Morehouse College was the top liberal-arts college, in Washington Monthly‘s new guide, published Monday, which aims to counter U.S. News & World Report‘s college rankings. Washington Monthly ranks colleges based on measures of how much social mobility, research, and community service they foster. For the second time, the magazine also ranked community colleges, based on graduation rates and their performance on the Community College Survey of Student Engagement. Saint Paul College, in Minnesota, topped that list. As with all rankings, people have taken issue with Washington Monthly’s methodology in the past.

Why don’t we try a ranking based on Peter Drucker’s “meaningful Outside” and see which schools are actually creating contribution? http://managing-turbulence.org/2010/08/07/got-an-mo/

honore – I believe you have mistaken UCSD for SDSU (San Diego State Univ.). UCSD isn’t known for being a party school. It actually has very reputable engineering and biology departments. Perhaps the university’s greatest embarrassment was this past year’s “Compton Cookout.” Nevertheless, your comment still grossly mischaracterizes the school as well as its alumni.
