Despite the fact that students from these schools think their profs are the worst, their schools rank in the top ten percent in the nation according to the Princeton Review.
It doesn't take much to conclude that we have here are some of the best students in the nation.
I have always maintained that a good teacher cannot always teach a bad student. But a good student can learn from anyone, even a bad student.
Here are Princeton Review's bottome 10.
10. University of Hawaii at Manoa - perhaps if the profs would leave their surfboards for a spell
9. Georgia Institute of Technology - the first of five Tech schools -
8. Illinois Institute of Technology -
4. New Jersey Institute of Technology - what do these tech students expect from their profs?
3. California Institute of Technology - rocket scientists cannot have personality, too...or, can they?
2. Steven Institute of Technology
1. United States Merchant Marine Academy - You would think that a bunch of ex-pirates could liven up a classroom a bit, no? One student at this school says, "Shared pain makes most people fit in just fine." Most likely he was talking about the indoctrination program, but he could have meant the lectures, too.
How are the profs at your school?
The Princeton Review rankings are a source of much debate, maybe even a few fist fights when the schools are neighbors. The book ranks schools in some 60+ different categories. The results are based on surveys given to those who should know best - the students who attend. And PR asked more than 115,000 such students.
