I might add, it’s not among the “sober” schools!
BU is a “Safety School” Please. This list is a joke.
I see the list but who compiled it? It it the guardian? Are they the world experts in education?
The Guardian? Hard lefty propaganda. This is like a tabloid. Top 100 this, 10 ways to whatever that, etc.
RE: I see the list but who compiled it?
This article refers to a group called the QS World University Rankings

Didn’t see Columbia or Dartmouth on the list. Ivy league bummer.
Columbia is #14 on the list.
Correction ... Columbia made the list.
My undergrad and grad schools are both in the Top 100, and my grad school ranks near the top in the your list. I guess I’m well balanced...
it’s a good list for avoiding a bunch of expensive, liberal indoctrination centers aiming to make good little globalists. in general.
We need a FReeper list.

Any other nominations?

hmmmmm....
So I went down the wikipedia link you posted to the criticisms and I still think this is lefty propaganda.
