There are many college guides and ranking systems out there that were made with the intention of helping you, the prospective student, determine what is the best school for you.  Unfortunately, most of these guides only evaluate statistical data and do not take into account the most important factor of all:  how other people will judge you based upon where you went to school.

Waxing Judgmental is pleased to help you with your search.  You will not remember your student-teacher ratio ten years after graduation, but you will remember the snide looks from your peers at your first job when you told them where you went to school.  Remember, it doesn't matter what you think, it matters what other people think about you.
