[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This list is NONSENSE. I am an immigrant educated in Britain (Oxbridge), with many years in Asia, and there is NO WAY that Chinese University of Hong Kong, or EPFL, or Kyoto University, NUS (Singapore) or McGill are better than the top schools in the US (including SLACs)! The students in these universities want to come to the US for a better education not the other way around.

This is just a list put together to try to be "globally representative" and fails to capture the true academic and educational experience of US universities.

We sent our kids to US schools even though our kids got some of these universities. There is simply no comparison to the educational experience in the US.   [/quote]

There are a few of us international folks on this board, PP, and you're a generation out of date. When I was in school, Asian universities were not well-known in the West. Now their worth has been recognized (they were always pretty good, and have vastly improved recently).

I agree that this list has been compiled with global representation in mind, absolutely. But you're kidding yourself if you believe that most SLACs or state unis will ever be on an international list. [/quote]

Have you seen the research that's being produced at these international universities?? Volume is not quality. That's the problem with these global rankings. The SLACs are not on any global ranking and that's fine because they are not intended to be research or PhD universities.

By the way, I hire for an international organization and US graduates (PhD programs) trump the graduates from other international universities.

[b]I bet you the UK government will shut this down after 2 years because they will be inundated by students from China, Singapore etc who want to be in the UK[/b]. [/quote]

This program has been going on since 2016. [/quote]
