      First of all, thanks for this

      Second, the cost is a few thousand dollars more than what that says, for sure.

            RIT was just a couple spots above Elmira as well.

            You missed Wesleyan at #15.

                Another D111 with impressive academic credentials, albeit heavily skewed toward business education is Babson. Class priviledges with nearby Olin College of Engineering and Wellesley College now allow for a very broad course selection.

                  I guess if you are happy there it's a good school. If you are not happy it's not. Also there is a tremendous tuition spread from one school to another.

                        Gustavus Adolphus clocks in at #98

                        There are some non-hockey MIAC schools high up on the list as well.

                          If Williams didn't get #1, Steinbrenner would've fired everyone from beyond the grave.

                              You missed Tufts at #34. Additionally, they placed sixth in the 2009-10 Directors Cup which ranks D3 schools for athletic achievement and won the D3 men's lacrosse championship in May.

                              The hockey program is not great but considering their pathetic rink situation, they are relatively competitive, usually being a low seed play-off team in the NESCAC.
