    I find Drupal harder than Joomla - but thats just me.
    If you don't know www.opensourcecms.com I'd go there and test the demos, choose one you like - and see if the community is okay.

    There is not one best CMS. Perhaps if you post specific specifications, it'll be easier to come up with recommendations.

    i would use joomla. i have seen a lot fo college sites use it before and it works very well.

    if seo is an issue then there are a few seo addons for joomla which make it easier to index and rank well.

    One thing to note here is that if you are after proper ACLs (being a college site, I would imagine this would be a core prerequisite), it may be better to stay away from Joomla which only supports it via an addon hack. Any future upgrades would cause many headaches.

    I would seriously recommend you only consider CMS' that offer native ACL support. As already mentioned, www.opensourcecms.com is a good place to check, although I personally use www.cmsmatrix.org .

    Joomla is by far the most professional and flexible than any other. You can add almost any feature possible. I would definitely pick Joomla (and I have).

    I know most everyone is pushing Joomla (this is probably the fastest way for you to get a site up), but if you want to use your own templates, you might want to also consider MODx CMS -> modxcms.com

    Check out how the Texas A&M English department is using it here:
