The list is meaningless without methodology. A lot of these lists use "high graduation rates" as a positive variable, which is a disadvantage to public schools.

Employment rate in job requiring a diploma within 1 year of graduation

Salary within 1, 5 and 10 years of graduation

That's the methodology people should care about.

Naw, I like it here. Besides Rice is in Houston and the Houston area accounts for the largest percentage of students that attend Trinity.

My wife is a Southwestern grad and what I've taken away from her and her friends from college is that they are smart but went to giant high schools and wanted a different college experience. I imagine Trinity and Austin College are similar.*

*There are obviously those who attended for its academic environment and several other reasons.
