"Meta University Ranking combines the three major university rankings – ARWU (Academic Ranking of World Universities),   QS (QS World University Ranking) and THE (Times Higher Education World University Ranking) – and averages them to provide a more objective view about which colleges really stand out."

One person's "objective" is another person's nonsense.  Wisconsin and UCSD better than Brown?  Riiiiight

There seems to be an emphasis on research - which means little to most undergrads [/quote]

Point taken. Although to be fair, this is a mashup of international rankings, and the emphasis is supposed to be research. If you're looking for "12 free tuition colleges" or "best satellite campuses" or "colleges with best dorms" or even "best party school," then Huffington Post's numerous lists might be a better bet: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/college-rankings/[/quote]
