As students head back to class this month, US News and World Report has issued its annual college rankings.
There's a tie at the top as Harvard and Princeton have been named 'best national university.'
A pair of Ivy League schools, Yale and Columbia, are third and fourth, respectively, in the 2011 rankings.
Four universities are tied for fifth on the list: California Institute of Technology, Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The University of Chicago, and The University of Pennsylvania.
Duke University rounds out the top 10.
The periodical also rates the best liberal arts colleges and universities in the US. Williams College of Massachusetts has been selected as the top US school in that category.
Another Massachusetts school, Amherst College, placed second, followed by Swarthmore College of Pennsylvania in third.
