The Daily Caller ranked the College of William and Mary ninth in its list of the 52 Best Colleges in America. The eight categories featured in the ranking were academics, professor quality, graduation rate, campus and town quality, admission selectivity, cost, student attractiveness and social life. Receiving relatively decent scores in the student hotness and social life categories, the College’s raw score of 26.35 was not enough to beat out the University of Virginia, which claimed the list’s top spot.
