I mean aren’t they all? Someone only likes a ranking system when their school does well. Hates it when their school doesn’t.

Ranking is junk is why. Imperial college as second and Princeton being that low amongst others is a joke.

These are essentially research university rankings. In that context it makes sense that Purdue is that high and UVA is low. Rice has a couple of good departments like EE and Applied Math but Purdue is excellent across the board in engineering. There are done head scratchers on the list like Edinburgh being that high.
