I Just Couldn't Help Looking

The main opposition group dealing with Marymount College's expansion issues has documentation stating the 'overall' and 'California' ranking of Marymount College.

I hadn't seen any comparison to other two year colleges, either public or private to compare Marymount to.

That all ended late last night and until just a few minutes ago.

Here is a list of thirteen two-year colleges with nine being public institutions and four being private institutions.

The private colleges were selected because they are in Southern California and the public colleges were selected because of their proximity to the Marymount Campus.

The source for the rankings supplied within this post is www.stateuniversity.com and in my research I found a huge number of colleges and universities listed on the site.

The site also includes demographic, financial aid information, location, and other information.

Here are the ranking I chose to use beginning with the highest rated college 'overall' which means, within the United State.

1. West Coast University. A Private College with only 285 students stated.
It ranks 1,393 overall and 95Th in California.

2. Santa Ana City College. A Public Community College.
It ranks 1,414 overall and 99Th in California.

3. Long Beach City College. A Public Community College.
It ranks 1,516 overall and 106Th in California.

4. El Camino Community College. A Public Community College.
It ranks 1,521 overall and 107Th in California.

5. Mt. San Antonio Community College. A Public Community College.
It ranks 1,623 overall and 123rd in California.

6. Cerritos Communtiy College. A Public Community College.
It ranks 1,637 overall and 126Th in California.

7. Moorpark Community College. A Public Community College.
It ranks 1,720 overall and 135Th in California.

8. Chaffey College. A Public Community College.
It ranks 1,895 overall and 164Th in California.

9. Fremont College. A Private Junior College in Cerritos, California.
It ranks 2,002 overall and 177Th in California.

10. California College, San Diego. A Private Junior College.
It ranks 2,043 overall and 183rd in California.

11. Santa Monica Community College. A Public Community College.
It ranks 2,122 overall and 192 in California.

12. Los Angeles Harbor College. A Public Community College.
It ranks 2,221 overall and 208Th in California

13. Marymount College. A Private Junior College.
It ranks 2,315 overall and 218 in California.

If you don't believe I recorded the rankings correctly, you are welcome to visit the site yourself.

I think this illustrates several things with one of them being the question of how a college so far down the list compared to other private and public colleges, can manage to have supporters donate for an expansion on a campus of a college that ranks far below so many other local schools and ranks lower than even its closest 2-year college neighbor, Los Angeles Harbor College.

I guess we can now all see which schools offer better educations than other schools.
