The Intercollegiate Studies Institute has listed the top ten and the bottom ten colleges in America. Check it out.
The two Catholic colleges in the top ten are #7 Providence College (Dominican) and #10 Christendom College.
New Jersey's Princeton University is #1!!! Go New Jersey!
There is also a Catholic college in the bottom ten, #3 Holy Cross (Jesuit).
Those rated the worst are the worst colleges only relatively, i.e. having deteriorated far below their prestigious reputations they are considered the most retrograde. That is what ISI means by "train wreck" colleges. They are the greatest examples of the numerous erstwhile excellent colleges which have fallen from their former glory: corruptio optima pessima!
