I'm sure you wish you could have afforded that education at any point in your pitiful life.

I see your land grand school is up there on Kiplinger's list of value schools. Of course they trail two SUNY schools, one of which I attended. In all, 10 SUNY schools are listed in Kiplinger's top 100. So the next time you want to try to compare Wisconsin to New York, try doing so in something in which you cheeseheads have a chance in competing. Like say hockey or fat chicks.

I believe University of Portland requires freshmen to live in the dorms.

That's pretty common. But Gobbles is talking about for the entire four years or seven if you're Noj.

Yeah, because whenever we see rankings for the top universities in the country, where Wisconsin typically sits somewhere near the top, they're always looking up at those SUNY schools, right? I mean really, I never realized that the costs for UW were so close to the SUNY schools. And given the choice, you'd rather have the Genesseo sheepskin? Well, it sure has worked well for you hasn't it, BUnemployed?

And yes, Dinsdale, I'm pretty sure that UW still requires freshmen to live in the dorms. BSmack thinks they should be forced to live in the dorms all 4 years.

You may critique my choice of major, but you may not dispute that I received as good an education in the SUNY system as you did in Badger Town. Obviously they didn't teach you how to navigate a web page back in the Stone Age when you and Mike Webster were attending Wisconsin. Because if they had, you would see that Wisconsin was indeed looking up at not one, but TWO SUNY schools in Kiplinger's list.

I wasn't talking about your Kiplinger list, which is supposedly some kind of bang for your buck type of rating. I was talking about rankings such as the US News rankings which simply rate the best schools. Let me know if you need this spelled out more clearly.

Obviously your alma mater didn't teach you much in the way of social skills, or perhaps you may have hung onto your job.

Obviously bang for your buck isn't a concern in Wisconsin. Nor is an actual apples to oranges comparison of any interest to the Badgerphile amongst us. US News and World report's rankings don't even rank SUNY Colleges with larger universities like Wisconsin. So keep bragging on your #42 ranking amongst a certain subset of public schools. The yawns it will induce should be deafening.

Gobbles, US N&WR rankings are largely a "rough estimate" and far from definitive, to say the least. Tell me you knew.

A "rough estimate" of...what?

And what does that make Kiplinger's list?
