FOR the second consecutive year Williams College in Massachusetts was named the best university in the United States, ahead of Harvard and two top military schools.
With less than 2,100 students it nudged past Princeton and the US Military Academy at West Point, which took the second and third spots on the annual list compiled by Forbes.com.
Another small western Massachusetts school, Amherst College, came in fourth, while Stanford University in Palo Alto, California rounded out the top five, edging out Harvard University, which was No. 6.
"We try and evaluate the college purchase as a consumer world," said Forbes Executive Editor Michael Noer. "Is it worth spending as much as a quarter of a million dollars for this degree?"
The US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs won the No. 10 spot, while Haverford College in Pennsylvania, which has just 1,190 undergraduates, placed seventh.
