Best school in America? Extremely rigorous (no excuses) academic program. If you get into MIT, Yale, Harvard, Chicago - don't go there. Go here. I've been to (and attended 6 different US colleges) and this is by far the best. But don't plan on any parties or social activities. Study, study, study. And be prepared for a LIFETIME of excellence. My 2 cents. Alumnus.
