As the 2018 school year comes to a close, people around the world are looking ahead to 2019 — and this means new college rankings.
Every year, college students and college grads alike pore over college rankings to see where their schools landed. These rankings attempt to highlight universities that do an excellent job of educating students and producing ground-breaking research.
UK-based higher education analytics company Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) analyzed data from 1,000 of the world's best universities and found that while American institutions continue to dominate, there are several schools beyond the U.S. that crack the top 10 universities in the world.
Here are the 10 best universities in the world for 2019:

I went to #9 back in the 80’s, it had problems then. They are worse now.
American Universities occupy half of the top 10. Four are from the UK and one from Switzerland.
The top 4 are all American.
RE: I went to #9 back in the 80’s, it had problems then. They are worse now.
Aren’t they located near the high crime area of the city?
Beavers rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went there when there was still Registration-Day porn.
No Whatsamatta U.?
All of their football teams suck. (well Stanford does ok occasionally)
All liberal bastions.
None graduate literate students on whole.
They can spout liberal ideologies, but I’ve have run-ins with each of those schools, attended three of them, and found the idiocy rates fare higher than the literacy rates.
#4 has been undefeated since 1992...
RE: All of their football teams suck.
The UK and Switzerland don’t do football (unless you consider soccer football.... )
As an MIT grad, I approve of this list.
Big drop off after #1, though.
Complete joke article...space filler...ya dont go to MIT to become a sculptor...or a pro athlete....if you want to be an auto engineer you dont go to u of chicago. Philosophy....cambridge? Marine biologist...not switzerland...engineer?....any school which teaches you what you need to know.
Caltech, at least in the 1980’s, was apolitical, and hardly a liberal bastion. Can’t say that for certain now.
MIT is not really a liberal bastion, although there are plenty of noisy liberals there.
It’s probably the most conservative college in Boston (not that that is saying much).
A professor in my graduate school was a U. of Chicago guy. He taught for a while in Mississippi, where one lady at his church, finding out his alma mater said, “Isn’t that a n*gro school?”
I know of one major American tech company that recruits only from major universities who would put Michigan and UCLA on the list ahead of Cal Tech or Chicago.
I picked #4 over #1, and I still don’t regret the choice. Less attitude.
Best at what?
Being the shiniest turd in the septic tank is not saying much.
I rest my case...they suck at football.
