According to collegecrunch.org the top 50 universities in America can vary depending on who you are asking. They have created a META ranking system that takes several variables into consideration when choosing their top 50. These variables include: technology infrastructure, student to teacher ratio, how diverse the university is, average GPA and, number of published papers from professors.
