Because mine is Wink

I know that basically every uni from 7-50 is about equal, but it's nice to beat Stanford, and more importantly, Melbourne Uni Cheesy

A fairly Nor-Calish list.

My university is 30th on the list.  It's been a while since I've been in college, but I just remember loving it. Smiley

Singapore's a great city. I'd hate to live there, though.

Not on that fascist list. As long as Ottawa U's not on it either, I'll be happy.

But you don't anymore, which moves you into the FF catergory. Enough sidetracking, anyway.

It's not even on the list, but it certainly is in the field I'm studying.

LOL @ this list. Boston U at 46 in the world? They aren't even 46 in the US on most lists.

And why isn't LOWF on the list? It's obviously bias against schools like mine.

It's too heavily biased towards science research, from what I can gather.

I was accepted into number 60 based on my ACT scores (and in spite of my grades in High School), but never managed to jump through the hoops required for me to actually get into the school.  I hung sheetrock for the dorms at number 83 also.

Actually, its the only list that weighs postgrad and undergrad rouhly equally. If this was just undergrad,there woul be a lot of change. Also Lunar, ANU is completely public Wink

I think Rutgers is Top 50 in the US.  I'm applying there, SPC, SHU, and Gtown.

I had to add that this was under a normal measurement and not this crap list Smiley

But actually, considering that Princeton is not in the top ten when it's clearly a top three school, I'm additionally suspicious.
