Baltimore sucks. Kids and their parents don’t want to be there.

Hopkins also loses to Berkeley

As a Hopkins alum I agree. I think it’ll be hard to overtake Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, Duke, UPenn, Columbia, but every other school is fair game

At Johns Hopkins:

You will work harder than you have ever worked before in your young life -> for a B-
You will go to "parties" where several kids are huddled in a corner -> studying
You will find that several 6 foot 2 mouth breathing lacrosse players are -> much smarter than you
You will eventually be graded on a curve and discover that your 94% course average is -> a B-
You will find that several of the better students transfer out to less notable colleges because -> four years of this BS before grad school just isn't worth it
You will -> throat or be throated

You will graduate and discover that the general public doesn't actually know anything about what you survived -> but the ones that do give you RESPECT (and jobs)

If the topic is the 8 most important institutions of higher education in the country, my list would be different. But, I think that it is ridiculous to try to limit such a list to just 8 schools.

My list would start with the 5 service academies (national security), Michigan, Johns Hopkins, and the University of Washington at Seattle. Then MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Wisconsin.

While great academic institutions, I do not see Princeton or Yale as being among the top 10 or top 20 most important institutions of higher ed in the country. UCal- Berkeley, UCLA, & UC-San Diego are far more important to the country than are Princeton & Yale.

Only JHU is among the top 8 higher ed institutions for R&D expenditures in 2020.



These are the 8 most important institutions for the United States for different reasons.


I would like to read your reasons which support your list of the 8 most important higher ed institutions in the US. Thanks in advance !

Besides living in Baltimore, which has its problems, how is Hopkins terrible for students?


Too much school work. Not enough hot people



Are you enjoying Arizona State?


No. But you don’t have to go to az state to find hot people and cruise in school work

You can relatively coast at Dartmouth or brown and there are more “aesthetic” people at either

There is this odd stereotype where “asu” is where the hotties are.

And that might be true briefly, but Nescacs and schools like Boston college, penn have lots of attractive people who hold on to their attractiveness longer due to socioeconomics, culture and genetics.





There is so much wrong with this, hard to know where to start.

If the above list is guesswork based on research & development funding, then the actual figures reveal these to be the top 33 for R & D expenditures for the year 2020:

1) JHU
2) Michigan
3) UC-San Francisco (medical research)
4) Univ. of Pennsylvania
5) Univ. of Washington at Seattle

6) UC-San Diego
7) UCLA
8) Wisconsin
9) Harvard
10) Stanford

11) Duke
12) Cornell
13) UNC
14) Texas A&M
15) Maryland

16) U Pittsburgh
17) Yale
18) Texas Cancer Center
19) Georgia Tech
20) Minnesota

21) Columbia
22) Penn State
23) MIT
24) Ohio State
25) NYU

26) U Florida
27) USC
28) WashUStL
29) Northwestern
30) UCal-Berkeley

31) Vanderbilt
32) UC-Davis
33) Emory


UC San Francisco doesn't have a single undergraduate and is 27 spots above Berkeley. This is largely a list of medical research that has very little relevance for undergraduates.

Princeton doesn't have a medical school. A very high percentage of R&D is NIH funding for medical research at medical schools, which is why UC San Francisco is near the top of the tables.
