Retarded ranking
How?
Fair ranking
Fair ranking as a whole.
I think so too. If your uni is even on this list then that is great. I was ranking the tiers within the world’s most prestigious unis based on their prestige, fame, pedigree, history, and quality.
Found the KCL student
Harvard & Oxford are the most well known names right now. Stanford (maybe MIT as well) will dominate the future.
What about Cambridge?
Cambridge is extremely prestigious, and people in the street may see it on par with Yale & Princeton.
WHERE IS ASU??
