UNCC had nothing to do with that airport and not everyone has a major connecting hub in their city. I've also noticed several schools with identical ratings in all categories and yet are separated by several rankings. It's different if one person did these reviews, but you have several who don't seem to follow a set of guidelines. Our reviewer was just too lazy to find places to do while in the region. He suggested the closest thing was Colonial Williamsburg 45 miles away.

This ranking was good for a laugh. That's about it.

Agreed. You could almost turn the damned thing upside down completely and get equally valid results.
