Is there anywhere I can sort colleges based on something other than perceived reputation and earnings after graduation?

Things like: teaching (vs. research) orientation of faculty, class sizes, diversity of student body, propensity of graduates to do interesting things, etc.?

Do you know a single investor that owns zero US stocks?

I don't.

Imagine suggesting that to clients!

Right?
