Agree 100%. Here in Maryland, with the exception of the University of Maryland at College Park and UMBC (University of Maryland Baltimore County), higher education is nothing to write home about. Over the course of ten years or so, most of these subpar colleges have been reborn as "universities". Doesn't change the fact, though, that they're pretty much continuations of high school. Grades 13 through 16, if you will.
ETA: Johns Hopkins is not a public school so I didn't address it in my rant
