Penn stays in the top 10 and Villanova makes a jump into the top 50 in the latest ranking of Best Colleges by U.S. News & World Report. Penn lands at No. 7 on the list, retaining its position from last year. Villanova comes in at No. 42. That's an improvement of 15 places from the previous ranking. Drexel, the University of Delaware, and Rutgers-Camden are also in the top 100. And, a big change at the head of the class: Princeton has been dethroned after 15 years, slipping to No. 2.
