According to a list released by College Factual, the Yale University tops the best of Universities in the US. The last year's top choice, the University of Pennsylvania, dropped down to the second position, while Duke University stays at the third position.
The co-founder and CEO of the College Factual website, Bill Phelan said;
The two factors that seem to cause the shuffling comes down to time to completion amongst graduating classes – with each school just slightly over four years — but slight improvements getting to a rate of four years.
The second factor involves slight improvement in freshman retention rate – this would indicate that the schools are getting better at more precise placement of students within programs. It’s worth noting that shuffling amongst these schools will continue to change every year, with ever-so-slight variances as other schools also strive to improve,” he adds.
Our rankings are “data-driven” and not built upon surveys of college administrators in the industry,” Phelan says. “You would never pick the winner of the SuperBowl based upon gathering the opinion of all the coaches in the NFL
