And another approach:
https://washingtonmonthly.com/2020college-guide Welcome to the Washington Monthly’s annual College Guide and Rankings, where we rate schools based on what they do for the country. It’s our answer to U.S. News & World Report, which relies on crude and easily manipulated measures of wealth, exclusivity, and prestige. We rank four-year schools (national universities, liberal arts colleges, baccalaureate colleges, and master’s universities) based on their contribution to the public good in three broad categories: social mobility, research, and providing opportunities for public service. We also rank Best Bang for the Buck colleges, which help non-wealthy students obtain marketable degrees at affordable prices. |
UVA in dungeons in this one as well. |
But Utah State is Top 10! Go Aggies. And UVA is in the dungeon ahead of Michigan, Northwestern, Dartmouth, Brown, Tufts, Vanderbilt, USC, Johns Hopkins and CalTech. These rankings are super accurate. |
USNWR has a separate teaching ranking, which isn't included in the overall ranking. |
What a surprise that the Times (of London) has Oxford on top. . . |
The UC schools are about as far from perfect undergraduate schools as you can get. Couldn't care less about undergraduates. Is this more or less a research rating? |
Those aren't exactly research and graduate powerhouses either. |
Oh, the horror |
| what is the metric? I doubt its devised by The Times newspaper, they're just reporting it. And obviously they have nothing to gain from promoting any university. Its not like they get a cut of the profits, because there are none in the UK. I think there's one for-profit university in the whole country, Buckinghamshire. And its not on anyone's list, for good reason. |
| Seriously, WHY do you guys care so much? Grown adults making fun of colleges?! And you call yourselves “elite.” It’s so laughable and embarrassing. |
But it’s only US. Nothing international. There is more to the world of education than these borders. Indeed, the OP posted the top 50 worldwide. Impressive list. Not everything needs to be American or in America to be great, you know?! |
Your have the writing skills of a very average eight year old. |
It was created by the Times Higher Education unit. They created the criteria. The management of the Times has had significant Oxford representation. |
You are not helping. |
As does the BBC / The Economist / Parliament. Most high end institutions within the UK have strong Oxford and Cambridge links. Cambridge isn't top of the list. Therefore defeating your silly stance completely. |
