I went to UT Austin, which is a very similar school. All the negatives you mentioned are certainly valid, but U.S News's ranking isn't just an undergrad ranking, it's an overall university ranking. And even for undergrad, career prospect for a CS undergrad from a UC school is probably SLIGHTLY better than a liberal arts grad from Vanderbilt.

Are you under the impression that Vanderbilt is a liberal arts school without a school of engineering? That's not the case.

I dont think it even has liberal arts major, heck they don't even have an undergrad business degree because they want you to actually pick something to major in.

Disclosure- I'm a Vandy Engineering School grad

They have split ratings, schools that only provide an undergrad are in a separate category.
