Hi guys, I'm a junior starting to look into some colleges. Carson Newman University is one that caught my eye but I'm unsure about its ranking. Does anyone have insight on this? Thanks in advance!
Sure, happy to help out with this! College rankings can definitely give you a general sense of a school's overall reputation.
While it's useful to keep in mind that each organization has its own methodology for rankings, U.S. News & World Report is often considered a reliable source for this kind of information. As of their most recent rankings, Carson-Newman University is ranked in the top half of Regional Universities South category.
However, remember that rankings are just one part of the equation, and they might not tell you everything you want to know about the school. For instance, the school's quality of the programs related to your interests, the culture and community, graduation rate, and post graduation placement rates are factors that aren't necessarily represented in a ranking.
College rankings can be useful places to start, but I encourage you to also do some more specific research on the aspects that are most important to you in a college. Hope this helps, and best of luck with your college search!
