Interesting. Boalt is the 4th best US law school in this ranking, 8th in the world. UCLA came in at 23rd, even though it keeps missing top-10 (T14) status in US polls. As for UVa, the story is not good.

"Students who study hard at any school will learn more than students who slack off at any school and students who…study hard, form strong relationships with professors and participate in the college community tend to thrive during and after school whether they attended a ‘top-ranked’ institution or not.”

New Study on College Rankings: It's Not Where You Go To School It's What You Do When You Get There “What do college rankings really measure? Are students who attend more selective colleges better off later in life? What is “fit” and why does it matter?”

Yes! How many of you have had that dream? Good luck with finals!

You’re at the final exam and never attended class. It’s that dream again. Many of us have this school-anxiety dream, and it doesn’t want to go away.

If you didn't learn cursive in grade school, your education was lacking.

Cursive: Reasons It Should Be Taught Today & the Science Behind It It is a grave mistake to believe that keyboard fi*****ng fluency will develop minds of students as much as traditional cursive handwriting lessons once did.

What do you wish you would have gotten from college advising?

Student Needs Have Changed. Advising Must Change, Too. Gone are the days of simply helping students register for classes and pick a major. New strategies and technologies are aimed at improving retention and graduation rates.

Glad to see CWRU's law school on the list.

After Supreme Court decision, Congress must preserve workers' right to sue The Supreme Court on Monday undercut American workers in a 5-4 decision that upholds employers’ ability to make forgoing the right to sue over wage and workplace disputes – either as an individual or as part of a class-action lawsuit – a condition of employment. It's up to Congress to fix that...

What is your experience with e-textbooks? Cengage is trying to shove one on me for next semester. I am resisting.

16% of those 18 to 29 years old voted in 2014. Not a good sign for the impending mid-terms.

Opinion | The Left is Energized. Now It Needs to Vote. Progressives don’t vote as often as conservatives do, which makes turnout the biggest opportunity for the new progressive movement.

Grrrrr.
