So again, if they could start over, the further 5% is half of the diversity score, which is looking at the extent to which students are satisfied with and the frequency of the interactions they get to have with people from different backgrounds.
We have some colleges with STEM focuses, some with business focuses, some liberal arts colleges do extremely well.
What we see when we go and talk to some of the colleges that do particularly well in our ranking, there's a lot of highly engaged alumni networks.
Some have a particular focus on working with area businesses before students graduate.
Some have developed in-classroom curricula that can adapt to the changing labour market, identifying trends in the labour market and catering for those trends to make sure that their students will be set up with the skills that will mean that they go on to make more money and in the end do well on the kind of rankings that we work on, as well as thinking about their students in a wider way.
Private colleges do still dominate the top of the ranking overall, which is massively surprising.
They tend to have larger funding.
But there are lots of public colleges which are really holding their own, particularly actually in California.
So 10 of the overall top 50 colleges, not just public colleges, but all colleges, are public schools from California.
Every ranking is different, and there is no ranking which can be the perfect thing for every individual reader and family who are making that kind of decision.
What we emphasise in this ranking is the extent to which those schools will make you wealthier, will make sure that you're graduating, that will ensure that you have a really positive learning experience and learning environment when you're at the college, and that you're able to mix with people from different backgrounds.
We do have a range of other sub-rankings which are published alongside our main ranking.
If you are interested in social mobility, we have a ranking which looks not only at the graduation rates and the graduate salaries of colleges, but also factors in more heavily the proportion of students who come from poorer backgrounds.
If you're interested very specifically just in the best value colleges, we have one which takes everything else out and just looks at the bang for your buck that you get from the colleges.
If you want to look primarily at the salary impact that you get out of each college, we have a score which just looks at that, cuts out everything else.
And if you want something more about the student experience whilst you're at the college and less about the rest of your life after it, then we do have a ranking of that, which is based on a set of questions which is not included in our main ranking, but which is asking about things like how nice and affordable the facilities are, the food is, the extracurricular stuff, the party scene, all that fun stuff.
We do not include in our main ranking.
It's not where our focus is.
We know that people are interested in that and you can go and find that out as well.

So the key thing here is that we're doing much more to measure the value that colleges are adding for their students in terms of salaries, in terms of boosting their chances of graduating from the college.
