-In America, the U.S. News & World Report rankings are regarded as the gold standard. The publication's methodology usually changes annually, but it includes student retention and graduation rates, resources available to faculty, and the opinions of fellow college leaders and high school counselors.
-Americans’ obsession with choosing the best product also informs the longevity of U.S. News college rankings, which began in 1983. They persist because choosing where to start a higher education career is confusing and there are hundreds of colleges, each promising a quality education. But when students can't figure out who is telling them the truth, a list of winners and losers can seem like a clarion through the noise.
