Firstly, even as a measure of desirability for undergrads, this list has serious flaws. No secondary schooler would pick UCL over Imperial for academic reasons if both were potential choices. Same for Manchsester, edinburgh and King's College over LSE.

Also, I'm the guy who complains about going to my uni at my home town. My uni is higher ranked than I thought. But this list is an utter joke.

>my alma mater being higher than Dartmouth
>than boston college

Yeah, I should've asked to swap places with one of those students at the start. no doubt they would've said yes....

Also I think this list is harsh on mainland europeans

The ranking change from one year to the other is due more to the scoring system changing than any change happening in the universities.

It's a pretty pointless ranking ranking and /sci/ which is so often critical of social science and limited rigour in the studies should be the first to see it.

this. no one cares that you went to a school ranked #378 or #578. There's no difference between them. The group that makes these rankings are exploiting the universities, basically taking their money so they can place them higher in their imaginary ranking system.

Because the education levels plateau quickly, but if you're in the first few you will be able to quote the name of the uni to open doors for the rest of your life, not so much the case after that.
