College Factual Ranks Penn #1 College Nationwide!

Social media has just EXPLODED with the news that College Factual released its rankings and Dear Old Penn is NUMERO. UNO. Check that out! Ranked number one in something not determined by GrubHub! We now have the triple crown: Most "Polite," Most Caffeinated and...best!

USA Today reported by embedding a @uofpenn Insta of the Quad...and speaking with College Factual's CEO, who explained these rankings are different because they're unbiased and reliant on data rather than reputation (backhanded compliment?). He accredits "UPenn" being #1 to our student-faculty ratio, loan default rates and "high earnings boost." (Blah blah blah, we approve of your methodology.) Ergo, Penn gives ya "the most bang for your buck."


As for fair Harvard and her crimson, or Yale, with her colors too? HYP rank, respectively, at #4, #2 and #8.

Sure, there are a million rankings and most of them are elitist nonsense peeps care too much about, but hey, College Factual seems to have a solid life perspective, no? Whatever, guys, this will inevitably matter more than these. Let's just revel in College Factual's rankings...until tomorrow, when the U.S. News ones drop (top 25 guaranteed, relax).
