Great Lakes Brewing a few weeks back released their most celebrated and critically lauded suds OKTOBERFEST - A celebration of malty goodness
And I rank them No. 1 - that is all

It is mighty fine.  I love their Christmas Ale.

UCLA is no longer worse than Kent and UMass? 

Moving on up!

I'm embarrassed hit has taken me so long to respond to this. The building looks great. There are several great buildings on the UW campus. That said, the campus does not have a clear through line in its architecture. Everything looks different than everything else. (That's a bit of an overstatement, but that is the affect). And there are several atrocious brutalist concrete structures that are an affront to all that is decent in architecture.
Buddy, I'll see your UW and raise you one Texas A&M.  The most jumbled, non-flowing, all over the map architecture you've ever seen.  Everything from soviet-esque block buildings to modern glass affronts and everything in between.

Fair. Madison is regularly rated among the best college campuses—and it is, but not because of its architecture. 😁

US News is decent for HS students trying to figure things out. They are a little goofy when it comes to academic rankings - especially as schools have so many more programs than others.

I look at these rankings for academics. Very comprehensive and not weighed so much on the fringe stuff (campus life, etc.) like US News does.

The top is not all that dissimilar.

I told my kids I'd pay for any in state school (except Cincinnati).  They all chose OSU which overall got'er done.
