World's university top 200 list out

I'm just behind Lund in #89.

Usually these lists revolve around which Universities pay the list maker the most money.

Interesting - my alma mater is #96, below other US schools it was ranked well above in US News and World Report's ranking.

University of South Florida not on list, ohh well I know why.................

:(

#41! I really don't see how these lists can be accurately determined though.

Um --- Just got my first loan statement from SALLIE - effin - MAY and I'm looking at #110.

Despite what McNugget says, there are no Georgetown cocktail parties going on here.

It is interesting that the two top places went to US universities. Last year, Yale shared the second place with Oxford and Cambridge, but the UK universities are apparently not doing so well ...

This list is a load of crap. I sat in on a few lectures at Pitt, and I feel that the education I received at Oberlin College was waaaaaaaaaay better.

this list is very off.... i mean NYU at #40? Rutgers at #151? why is rutgers even on the list?! this list also excludes all the small liberal arts colleges like any of the seven sisters' college and places like Haverford and Williams

Crapcrapcrap.

ooh, not bad at no. 23, though it's quite funny that the main stat that lets us down is the staff/student ratings.. basically anyone who's actually been here dislikes it? oh dear.. *I* like it now...

#21, what whaaaat!

(Although my undergrad, Oberlin, is not on the list)

#40 woohoo!

Is there somewhere they explain the criteria they used? Or is the list completely arbitrary?

My university, Goldsmiths in London, didn't even make the list but I don't care - it was perfect for me, so it really doesn't matter how some list rates it.

I'm not sure about the criteria. When the uni would give us questionnaires to fill in, I remember that many students would put unrealistically low satisfaction rates - because showing you were satisfied with courses wasn't as "cool" as complaining...

As if trinity is the best Uni in Ireland.

UCD & DIT top that Mofo.

not suprised we didnt make it (university of new england) but we did rank 88th in the country...we'll take it

51 woooo i think we should actually be father down on the list though
