I went to this site and clicked on colleges, and then on Stevens Institute of Technology, where I taught for 46 years. I was pleased to see Stevens rated A+ overall. IMO it deserves this high rating. What I found strange was rating campus a B-. Stevens is located on 55 acres near the Hudson River. It has a magnificent view of the Manhattan skyline which is stunning at night. On a clear day one can see the George Washington Bridge on the north and the Verrazano Bridge on the south. See [www.stevens.edu] for some photos.

Athletics is not a strong point at Stevens (Most students are busy studying due to demanding curriculum.) so the grade of B- for athletics seems appropriate to me.
