Harvard University is No. 1 on "Best Colleges" Rankings

This year Harvard University got the No. 1 spot for national universities in the U.S. News & World Report “Best Colleges” guide, which the magazine released this week. Surprisingly, it has been 12 years since the university topped the list.  The magazine has published the definitive guide since 1985 and if you are wondering about the ranking system read Robert Morse’s blog “How We Calculate the Rankings,” in which the editor describes the 5-step process to ensuring data integrity.
