Satisfaction matters if you're talking about the quality of the school and we are. It also matters when speaking of resources and the access of students to those resources.

Wrong, try again. If people vote in order to boost their university or college's ranking then it won't correspond with anything you mentioned. Satisfaction isn't something that can be truly measured hence is bit of a wasted statistic. *head shot*

Actually, this is where things get complicated. Generalizations cannot be made.

Not all colleges allow double majors. Princeton, for example, does not allow students to double major. Harvard allows something it calls a "joint concentration," which is in essence combining two fields into one, but that is rather different from a true double major.

Additionally, the ability to double major often depends on which college of a university you're in. It is very easy to double major in the arts & sciences, less so in engineering - if it's allowed at all. Double majoring between colleges (e.g. business and engineering) can be very difficult, especially if one discipline is exceedingly demanding (e.g. BFA or BM programs in music).

Minors are something offered at some colleges but not others. Brown and Columbia do not have them, for example. Some colleges offer certificates, which are halfway between a minor and major.

Whether you receive one degree or two depends on the university. Some colleges, like Chicago, allow only one degree to be awarded, and a BS trumps a BA. At others, like Swarthmore, you can graduate with both a BS and BA.

Satisfaction has a lot to do with the quality of a school when it comes to access to resources therefore the point still stands.

Do you know how satisfaction rates are worked out?

Wharton is overrated in terms of actual access to resources. Therefore it is not the best undergraduate b school in the us.

My point once again, is that Wharton doesn't offer anything the other top schools don't as far as actual quality goes. I've already spoken about the teachers.
Do we think Sharri goes to a community college? I get the idea they're looked down upon in the US. Sharri seems a bit... simple.

Lol @ typical British snobbery/ignorance. It's always a sign that people are getting desperate when start that type of childish behavior.

still doesn't change the fact that Wharton is overrated. There is no difference between the top schools. Fact

my post was referring to the other poster but you're so arrogant it's no surprise you felt the need to open your mouth
you've done nothing but lie on this thread and when you haven't been lying you've been spouting bull. It still doesn't change the fact that Wharton is overrated and the other top schools offer the same thing. Clearly you know nothing about business:colonhash:
Wow. You guys managed to argue for a whole 3 pages? Nice one.

Wharton is incredibly overrated. This is a well known fact. :colonhash:
