You are aware that the Princeton Review ratings are voted on by students, right? They're just restating in a more public and well known manner how badly some people think this place sucks.

Wow.... not only is the Princeton Review dumb - They're just flat out wrong: Enrollment is incorrect, most popular majors is incorrect, and the male/female ratio is incorrect (it's less than 4:1). Also, they have a bias on what quotes to put in.
Other than that.. UMR actually improved on all three of the "bad rankings" you've posted. AND.. they called UMR one of the 163 best in the MidWest (which is an improvement). I fail to see anything bad here, just improvement.
The Princeton Review is BS. Look at what they rank for the top engineering schools:
1. University of California, Santa Barbara
2. Duke University
3. University of Virginia
4. Michigan State University
5. The Johns Hopkins University
6. University of Maryland, College Park
7. Rice University
8. University of Texas at Austin
9. Georgia Institute of Technology
10. University of Notre Dame
11. University of Delaware
12. Lehigh University
13. Washington University
14. University of New Mexico
15. The Ohio State University - Columbus
16. University of California, San Diego
17. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
18. University of Toledo
19. Dartmouth College
20. University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
I mean seriously, no MIT? No Stanford? No Berkeley? University of Toledo being above the University of Michigan?
