[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They’ve got UDub and UT, plus NYU (?) but no UVA, GaTech, Carnegie Mellon, Rice? Bizarre choices. It’s telling that there are no SLACs on this list, either, considering many have grad programs. Does the UK even have jobs available right now? I thought they are headed into a recession far sooner than we are. [/quote] People need to understand what "university" means. Rice, etc. are great at undergraduate education but that does not make them top universities. The USNews "National Universities" ranking is a misnomer given it's focus on undergraduate education, and clearly constantly confuses people on a daily basis. Both University of Washington and NYU are major research universities, particularly for medicine. GaTech and Carnegie Mellon are both great at engineering research but not so much in other areas. Looks like U.K. is not focusing on engineering talent with this list. [/quote] +1[/quote]
