US New and World Report recently released its annual rankings of universities and colleges and I was pleased to see that UC Davis, my soon-to-be alma mater, had reached 42nd place nationally. Significantly, it passed UCs Santa Barbara and Irvine (as well as UT Austin and Tulane). It still lags behind San Diego and of course, Los Angeles and Berkeley. It also ranks at number 11 amongst public universities.
Stanford, which recently announced that it would increase financial to student from families making over $100,000 a year, not charge tuition to those below $100,000, and not charge room and board for those under $60,000, holds its spot at number 4 nationwide, behind Princeton, Harvard, and Yale.
The Davis Entertainment Council, regrettably responsible for recent appearances by AFI and Jimmy Eat World, will continue its legacy of fabulous (read: overrated and overhyped) musical entertainment by hosting Tegan and Sara and Death Cab for Cutie April 21st and 22nd. I cannot believe my student fees continue to fund such endeavours.
Davis: good.
Stanford: better.
Davis EC: letting the terrorists win.
