Why are Harvard and Oxford so far ahead of any university in the world in terms of brand strength?
You could go to any corner of the Earth and literally everybody will know these two universities. The same cannot be said for their peers like MIT, Cambridge, or Yale.

This fucking guy
He’s back
Context lol??
There was a guy who kept posting about university prestige rankings and he stopped for a while but it seems he’s posting again
Harvard is the leading university of the American Empire which has spread its culture to every corner of the globe.
Oxford was the leading university of the British Empire which did the same.
MIT/Stanford/Yale have always been second to Harvard (in terms of prestige, not actual quality) so they haven’t been able to become as ubiquitous globally. The reason for this is Harvard being the oldest university in the USA.
The same applies to Cambridge always being second to Oxford. The reason for this is Oxford being the oldest university in the UK.
At the end of the day, people will only care about the winners (Harvard and Oxford) and not the runner-ups (MIT, Cambridge, Yale, etc.).
I was in Wichita Kansas the other week. Nobody there know what Harvard, Oxford, or Cambridge was. Everyone however knew about Wichita State. I was confused; some guy on this forum a while back said that only two universities are recognized.
Cambridge isn’t in the same league as Harvard and Oxford, let alone Wichita State.
Bro this is why I asked that one kid who saw this guy at Wharton to doxx this fucker.
Some people never change. Doxx this guy so his friends know how much of a freak he is.
