Oxford is number one. Again.

Times Higher Education is known to be biased towards UK schools since it's a UK-based publication. No one believes Oxford is greater than Harvard anymore, it just isn't. Also, what is likely more relevant for us is their US Undergraduate Rankings which they also have. |
| Dear lord please stop with the ranking! It becomes a DCUM pissing contest. |
+1 They have a US College Ranking: https://www.timeshighereducation.com/rankings/united-states/2022 1. Harvard 2. Stanford 3. MIT 4. Yale 5. Duke 6. Brown 7. Caltech 8. Princeton 9. Johns Hopkins 9. Northwestern 11. Cornell 12. U of Penn 13. Dartmouth 14. U of Chicago 15. Vanderbilt 16. Columbia 17. WashU in St. Louis 18. Rice 19. USC 20. Emory 21. Carnegie Mellon 22. Amherst 23. Williams 24. U of Michigan 25. Pomona |
Strongly disagree. I went to Harvard. DD is at Oxford |
| So much for St. Andrews' dad who keeps posting The Guardian claiming St. Andrews is no. 1 in the world. Here it is classified somewhere between 201 to 250 |
I concur. They're both excellent, but very different universities. DS would have loved the tutorial system. |
The student : faculty "staff" ratios are incorrect (too high = unfavorable) for Northwestern & for Carnegie Mellon. The student : faculty ratios for many schools are way too low--which results in a favorable rating--for many schools including UC-Berkeley, UC-San Diego, Columbia, Michigan, McGill, Duke, Johns Hopkins, & UCLA. |
Emory & Vanderbilt Student:staff ratios are absurd (4.2 and 3.8 respectively) which result in a more favorable rating. I wonder whether schools responded to a survey which used the word "staff" instead of "faculty" ? |
Why would UC-Berkeley be #8 on the world list but not be included in top 25 on the US list? |
| There is NO “Best University in the World”. Nor is there a second or third or fourth etc best |
I am sorry your daughter could not get into Harvard. |
If you're that immature, you should not be contributing. The rest of us know that both are top notch universities. |
OMG, really? How do people say such things with a straight face? |
One is a lot harder to get into than another. But I guess we all know that. |
