@leadzeppelin With a misspelled,liberalesque name like "Leadzeppelin",one really begs to wonder about your level of education.As well,why have you viewed this video believing prior to your post,Hillsdale to be of low quality?Trolling the net with intent to trivialize non-liberal establishments can't quell your insecurities,and self loathing.I believe Berkeley would be your vice.

Notre Dame is also a great school academically, although with bitter alumni like you, I have to wonder. I cannot imagine a Hillsdale student posting some self-serving rant like that. Hillsdale also operates Hillsdale Academy, a private school whose graduates average a 36 on the ACT (36 is a perfect score). Hillsdale College is a great, traditional school for American civics and Latin and Greek. It is a tiny school which more than pulls its own weight, academically.

They need to make it a university.

The biggest problem I had with Hillsdale was the fact that they teach you how to think and govern yourself ONLY. Dr. Conner said himself that they don't have a curriculum designed for "career training". I'm sorry but it's pretty important to have career training and have a strong career oriented network with potential employers. Hillsdale would be the best school in the country if combined "teaching you how to think" with career training. Also, Hillsdale's network to real businesses is small

If you wanted an accurate assessment of the value of a college education, it seems to me that you would have some sort of post-college assessment test in basic knowledge in core areas like history, science, math, language, etc, similar to pre-college testing. A lot of these college rankings are based purely on reputation, prestige, age of college, brand name. If the purpose of an education is to learn more, rather than to "get ahead" economically, the entire ranking system would be different.

Forbes has Hillsdale beating schools like NYU, which is rated ridiculously low (in the 200's?), in my opinion. US News has hillsdale at 88. These rankings are so volatile that you have to wonder about them. They are like any rankings, subject to whatever arbitrary criteria the deciders have decided upon. Forbes tends to favor smaller schools, not a bad idea, in my opinion. U of M edged out Hillsdale by a few points, but most of the graduates i know from UM really hated those huge classes.

Hillsdale could do better with this video, however. Good to see my great Professor Andrew Cuneo in there. Brilliant, Oxford educated man and friend. A good egg, in Hillsdale terms. And Dr Whalen, I am sorry I skipped your class a few times. I enjoyed your lectures on 2nd rate British renaissance writers.
