Awesome, 7 colleges from Louisiana were listed.... lol more than I thought would be.

Ironically enough the University of New Orleans didnt make the list, while Southeastern LA University did.....stupid since SLU is basically a glorified high school. :5

ASU is a party school and considered by many to be lacking in education at it was at 350

of course UofA (A real school

) was 339 and NAU (Arizonian's back-up school) 344

The list was weird. It seemed like they were more concerned with issues that weren't exactly education related.

7. 4 year debt load for typical student borrowers (20%)

That probably helps the military academy.

That probably helps the military academy.

Also: 25% on indicators of post-graduate employment success

Since grads of a military academy have nearly 100% employment rate post college that gives them a pretty big bump.
