US News and World Report Rankings...

[M-I-Coug]

I'm not sure how accurate or subjective these annual "best global" ratings are...but here is a snapshot...

1. Harvard University
2. MIT
3. Stanford University
6. University of Washington
165. University of Arizona
179. Arizona State University
365. Oregon State University
397. Washington State University
1510. Boise State University

Since we have transitioned to N. Scottsdale, our daughter just got accepted into ASU. She did get accepted to UW, but she's living at home, and UW does not have online virtual courses for the undergraduate degree programs. She would have gone to UW, (even though she was indoctrinated as a COUG since birth). UW is a better school, except specialty degrees like Vetinarian, Communications, Hotel and Restaurant, Agriculture, etc.

Our daughter plans to do brick and mortar, driving to Tempe a few days a week, starting this fall, because her field of study is not offered online. Too bad we don't play ASU/UA anymore.

On a side note, we went to the Arizona Diamondbacks game yesterday at Chase Field in Phoenix.
T-Mobile Park, (Safeco Field), IMO.... is a much nicer ballpark, (regarding the stadium), then Chase....which is like 5 years older than Seattle.

Well hopefully your indoctrination means your daughter won't switch her allegiance to the Sun Devils during the next four years!

Not surprising to learn both WSU and OSU are A LOT closer in the prestige rankings to Harvard, MIT and Stanford than to the likes of Boise State.

Wonder if Boise's fans know or even care about their school's relatively low prestige?

Wonder if Chris Peterson cared?

If true, this is good news for all the countries that their students will go back to after they graduate. We know the uw has been focusing on enrolling foreign students.

Well…WSU has been working on this too. So have a lot of schools. International students bring some advantages to the school. They need housing also, and often live on campus. They come to actually go to school, and they work on campus - often in research departments. And, more importantly, they pay full tuition, pay in cash, and a lot of them stay year-round.

They're probably excited about how much it (seemingly) has improved, if they are able to read and access the Internet. When I last looked about 5 years ago, Boise State was ranked adjacent to schools like Central Washington in the west "regional universities" ranking and wasn't even on the list of national rankings. Even that represented a significant improvement from before their run of national prominence in football.
